Description Harvey Chapman 2003-11-19 17:19:20 UTC

Code listing 3.11: Recompile all dependencies too
# emerge --update world --emptytree

On my box using Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1,
2.4.20-gentoo-r6-test), that command reports this:

$ emerge -vpu world --emptytree
!!! Error: --emptytree is an invalid option.

Changed to "emerge -vp --emptytree -u world" and it worked fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

a) order of options/arguments for emerge is not important, so that would be a portage bug
b) copy+pasted your command, worked here (not -r15 here, but the option parser wasn't changed), so are you sure that you typed it correctly ?

(I still see a small doc bug as --update is redundant when used in combination with --emptytree)

Comment 2 Harvey Chapman 2003-11-20 17:25:54 UTC

I did an "emerge -u system" earlier and now I can't reproduce it. Oh well. I guess this can be set to WORKSFORME. Strange. Thanks.
