Description Josh Sled 2008-07-24 18:13:29 UTC

python-updater can take a really long time to figure out which PMS command to run (45 minutes here for a python-2.4 -> 2.5 upgrade), only to have the invoked emerge (or whatever) command fail due to some reason or another (intentionally-masked packages, specific ebuild versions no longer being in the tree, &c.).

Like revdep-rebuild, it should echo the pms command so the user can just re-execute it with changes if need be.
