Bug 17091 – emerge -up world --deep vs result with emerge -up world -deep

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Doug Glenn 2003-03-08 11:27:06 UTC]

There appears to be a problem with the command line interpretation as you get two 
differing results if you mistype rather than being trapped as an error 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -up world --deep 
2.check number of packages 
3.emerge -up world -deep 
4. many, many packages, some not even installed or wanted. 
Actual Results:  
Nothing harmfull as it was with -pretend. 

Expected Results:  
Should have returned an error with the -deep command line as being incorrect.

--deep is short -D

-deep == -d -e -e -p
-e = emerge from empty portage tree 
and so on.
