I use "emerge -auDtqv world" to update. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The "uD" identifies all the updates (from world) and the packages used |
| 36 |
in lower levels. The "t" uses indented names to show levels of |
| 37 |
dependency. Lastly "qv" suppresses (from my console) all the |
| 38 |
configuration and build details while that information is written |
| 39 |
to /var/lib/portage. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
In short, I can see what's being emerged without being overwhelmed by |
| 42 |
details. |
