I think that it would make things more clear and simple if portage did
support the following (maybe some are already included, but not found by
me):
* Add package to "world" checking all dependencies, but not emerging
Not sure what exactly that is supposed to mean, but I guess it's already
doable with --noreplace and --onlydeps.
* Remove package from "world" without unmerging
$EDITOR /var/lib/portage/world
or
sed -i -e '/<category>\/<package>/d' /var/lib/portage/world
Maybe worth integrating when generic set support is available.
* Save all important messages into file instead of beeping (i may be
away from home); optionally replay them at end of update
see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-131795.html
* When updating or installing new package, if something goes wrong,
still emerge other packages, which havent failed packages as
dependencies -- in my case, for example, when i do --update, for
example, then the fact that update of first package fails does not
definitely mean that i dont want to update others
This has been rejected in the past as it isn't always a good idea as you
might want to change your plans if a package fails. Maybe as an optional
feature, but even then it's rather low priority.
