Sometimes depclean spits out a lot of packages, and the output is very verbose. An example package: x11-plugins/wmCalClock selected: 1.25-r1 protected: none omitted: none Including the newline, that's 5 lines per package. If 20 come out... Using 'emerge -pq depclean' should give the format: cat/app [selected versions in red] [protected versions in green] [omitted versions in blue] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -pq declean 2. read the output 3. profit!!! Actual Results: No profit :( too much output to parse. Expected Results: Be less verbose when emerge depclean is passed the -q option.
Created attachment 25040 [details, diff] quiet-clean.patch Here is a chunk from a patch from bug #37491 that should solve this. Output is one line / package when --quiet in options: --- category/package-name: 1.2.3 (Prot.: 4.5.6) (Omit.: 7.8.9) (where 1.2.3 is a selected version, in red, and the two others in green are protected and omitted)
is this still true? no? torx ~ # emerge -C sl -q app-misc/sl selected: 3.03 protected: none omitted: none >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging app-misc/sl-3.03... No package files given... Grabbing a set. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. * IMPORTANT: 5 config files in /etc need updating. * Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files. Reopen if you want more.
