The -v argument to mv is not in POSIX and can cause the emerge to fail with some mv implementations.

we don't generally like mondo bugs that cover more than one package as they often times cover more than one maintainer
there is no posix way to make `mv` verbose? -v actually improves maintainbility to some extend...
(In reply to comment #8) > there is no posix way to make `mv` verbose? -v actually improves > maintainbility to some extend... nothing?
(In reply to comment #9) i don't think the issue is limited to `mv`. you could make the same argument for mv, cp, rm, sed, chown, chmod, etc... if it's something you really want to pursue, i'd suggest adding a `v` to eutils like the (untested): v() { local a q for a ; do [[ ${a} == *" "* ]] && q="'" || q= printf "${q}%s${q} " "${a}" done printf "\n" "$@" } then you can just run: v mv ... good luck posting that to gentoo-dev :p
