Why don't you email the whole list and tell them how to implement a minute reduction in CPU cycles. ;-D (I'm just kidding, this is a better way.) or heck: `emerge --ask /tmp/welcome_to_my_world.lst` This doesn't work, nor does cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | emerge --ask cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | emerge --pretend cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | xargs emerge --ask However, cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | xargs emerge --pretend does work. I didn't try it without pretend, but I betcha it'd work. Weird, huh? -Mike Smith -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
