Bug 148235 – emerge -pf gives strange output

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Pawel Sedrowski 2006-09-19 12:11:44 UTC]

Connecting two emerge options -p and -f gives sth like this:

emerge -p -f lilo

These are the packages that would be fetched, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Same happens on a few different computers.

[Comment 1 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2006-09-19 12:20:48 UTC]

From emerge --help:

       --fetchonly (-f short option)
              Instead of doing any package building, just perform fetches for
              all packages (main package as well as all dependencies.) When
              used in combination with --pretend all the SRC_URIs will be
              displayed multiple mirrors per line, one line per file.

This is the expected and intended behaviour.

[Comment 2 Pawel Sedrowski 2006-09-19 12:28:16 UTC]

As I remember it worked different before, didn't it? Is it possible devs changed it as it was previously?

[Comment 3 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2006-09-19 12:31:20 UTC]

It's possible I remember wrong myself, but I don't remember any different behaviour for -p -f.
