I'm just a tinkerer. The thought of using *-*/* never occurred to me. I was
getting the list of packages by doing -ep and that awking it several times to
get the same thing. I have been toying with programming since I was 8, yet
I've never done any sort of Linux-based development as yet (unless fixing a
couple of easy bugs counts). The one project I am privately working on is
being done in Java because I'm still afraid of the multicoloured monstrosity
when it comes to the market-place!
Glad to be of assistance.

Once it's done, you're left with a list of packages that couldn't be
emerged for one reason or another which can then be investigated.
OK, i'll use that one. Looks like the script of a gcc tester :)

RE: [gentoo-user] rebuild all
You could use a similar method, though. How about:
# cd /var/db/pkg
# emerge --oneshot `ls *-*/* | awk '{print "=" $0}'`
That should re-emerge everything without adding it all to the world
file. The problem with this method, though, is that it is not
restartable. If I want to rebuild everything I usually use something
similar to the following method:
# cd /var/db/pkg
# ls *-*/* | awk '{print "=" $0}' > /root/pkgs
# for i in `cat /root/pkgs`; do emerge --oneshot $i && (grep -v $i
/root/pkgs > /root/pkgs2; mv /root/pkgs2 /root/pkgs) done
Once it's done, you're left with a list of packages that couldn't be
emerged for one reason or another which can then be investigated.
BTW, sorry for Outlook.

This will rebuild everyting in the world files, their dependencies and "system" packages. The only things I can think of that would be left out are packages not listed in /var/cache/edb/world, whether by design or accident. (Also left out would be dependencies of unlisted packages which aren't caught by listed packages.) The above is the world according to me, and may be wrong. Now, I'd like to twist your question and ask: why wouldn't it? -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
