Description Lance Albertson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-28 09:38:05 UTC
Sometimes on servers, I don't get around to updating every single package, by
the time I get around to upgrading something like perl, perl-cleaner wants to
install the exact version of the package to update it for the new perl. Could
there be an option of upgrading packages instead in the future? I've been doing
this by hand lately and its a chore :-).

Thanks!

Undocumented feature: if you pass -u as part of your call to perl-cleaner, like:

perl-cleaner modules -u

it *should* append a -u to your emerge calls (this is based on reading this fragment that I don't remember typing, but gollee i was thinking ahead!)

    354       * )
    355          EMERGE_OPTIONS="${EMERGE_OPTIONS} $1"
    356          shift
    357          ;;

so...like, try it and let me know :) I'm going to close this bug for now, if it doesn't work as i read it to, reopen and i'll just add a -u flag to the option list.

forgot to say try this with 1.03, not 1.01, just to be safe

Sweet, Actually the better option I'd be using is -1, but I'll give that a try sometime. Thanks!
