it would be nice to see what part of poertage tree (categories, packages and individual ebuilds) are going to be synced. Sort of changelog, but in a format similar to the one we can see with other "emerge --pretend" commands. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge rsync --pretend 2. decide if we need it 3. emerge rsync Actual Results: currently it's not supported. Expected Results: it is expected to improve the user experience.
I don't see the idea in this. anyway, if there some day comes something you wants, you would have to rsync anyway. Some programs might have problems with old versions of other packages, but if you don't rsync, you might not have the ebuilds for those updated versions.
doesn't make any sence. emerge -pu --world
emerge -up world shows available updated for packages *already installed*. How about to seel the progress with packages that are not intsalled yet? What if I am waiting a stable release of the package, which now has a tilda in keywords (that's why it is not installed yet)? What is an ebuild is updated without a revision bump (it happens sometimes)?
