Description Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2011-02-13 13:51:23 UTC 
Is it an intended behaviour of emerge that 

# emerge --update <atom>

does record the packet in the world file?

If so, I would like to have a toggle like "--select" for disabling the recording only for --update and not for all emerge actions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2011-02-13 14:37:26 UTC 
It doesn't record system packages in the world file. You can edit /var/lib/portage/world manually to add them there.
Comment 2 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2011-02-13 15:08:52 UTC 
Looking at portage-2.1.9* this seems to be an intended behaviour.

Sorry for the noise.
