There is a typo in emerge --help. It says: --buildpkgonly (-B short option) Creates binary a binary package, but does not merge it to the system. This has the restriction that unsatisfied dependancies must not exist for the desired package as they cannot be used if they do not exist on the system. The word "binary" is doubled in the first sentence. BTW: The man page for emerge doesn't mention "--buildpkgonly". Best regards, -Markus- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --help 2.Look for the "--buildpkgonly" part 3. mb1 root # emerge --info Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://212.219.56.131/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ http://212.219.56.152/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/resources/dists/gentoo/1.4rc2/distfiles" PKGDIR="/resources/dists/gentoo/1.4rc2/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 -3dfx 3dnow aalib -acl -acpi -afs -alsa -apache2 apm arts -atlas avi berkdb bonobo -canna cdr -cjk crypt -cups dga directfb -doc dvd encode esd evo -ev6 fbcon -flash -freewnn gb gd gdbm -ggi gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk2 gtk gtkhtml guile -icc -icc-pgo imap imlib innodb -ipv6 java -jikes jpeg -junit kde -kerberos lcms ldap leim -libg++ libgda libwww -matrox maildir mbox mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg -mule mysql -nas ncurses nls nocardbus oav -oci8 -odbc oggvorbis opengl -oss pam -pcmcia pda pdflib perl pic plotutils png -postgres python qt quicktime readline -ruby samba sasl -scanner sdl slang -slp snmp -socks5 spell sse ssl -static svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype -trusted -voodoo3 -wavelan X xface xml2 xml xmms xv -zeo zlib" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="no" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
