Greetings,
some time back it was pointed out on this list to only use "--changed-
use" rather than "--newuse". So I've meanwhile removed this option (and
also a few others) from my update script which I had created early after
installing Gentoo. It now basically runs
$ sudo emerge --ask --verbose-conflicts --changed-deps \
--changed-use --deep --update @world
But if I understand the "emerge" manual page correctly, "--changed-deps"
causes a rebuild of a package, if one of its dependencies has been re-
build, even though the package does not require the newer version of the
dependency. So does it really make sense to have this option hardcoded
in a script? Or does it just cause plenty of package rebuilds without
any real effect? Likewise, what about "--deep"? Should I keep it?
Sincerely,
Rainer
