Bug 281692 – app-admin/python-updater: Use --keep-going emerge option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kobboi 2009-08-16 17:53:45 UTC]

I was not looking at the python-updater process, only to find out much later that it wanted to re-emerge a package from a deleted overlay.

Suggestion: use --keep-going in the emerge

Reproducible: Always

--keep-going won't help in this case:

# emerge --keep-going nonexistent_package expat
Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "nonexistent_package".

Isn't "python-updater -- --keep-going" enough for you?

--keep-going option is useful in other situations, so I have added using of it in r253.

Fixed in app-admin/python-updater-0.8.
