The build packages only option doesn't appear to work properly in either incarnation, either as -B or --buildpkgonly. I've tried this with features set to buildpkg and unset. The problem occurs in both cases. Portage is version 2.0.49-r21. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -B package_name 2. 3. Actual Results: package_name gets installed (merged) as well as built. The tbz file lives in /usr/portage/packages as expected Expected Results: Just built the package, not merged it into databases nor installed binaries
You'll have to provide the output from emerge when you do this. It works for me and I see no issues in the code. Reopen if you can show verification.
Created attachment 23745 [details] output of: emerge -B mplus-fonts
My mistake. Comparing the output of emerge -B and emerge shows some clear (and very reassuring differences). Not sure what happened here, I'm positive it wasn't working before (hence the bug report!). Thanks for your time, J
