It would be nice to have a new features in emerge. 1: emerge -p explain php This should show each package that will be emerged to install PHP using the current USE variables. If a package is being installed to resolve a dependency of another package then it would be nice to have that package shown, indented, beneath the package that requires it. If the package is an optional package and being installed because of a USE setting then it would be nice to have that USE variable displayed to the left of the package. (in a different color if color is turned on?) * * Cal Evans * The Virtual CIO * http://www.calevans.com *
the tree request is at 4229 as for the showing of USE varaible that caused a package merge ... that'll be helpful so that we dont have to make docs to show ppl why their `emerge <pkg>` wants to suddenly install xfree
`emerge php -pv`
