Bug 39121 – bootstrap script with pretend and verbose

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Yuri Vasilevski (RETIRED) 2004-01-22 23:25:25 UTC]

How about changing the bootstrap script to allow users to view what's going to
happened and to modify USE according to it?
I made modifications to bootstrap-2.6.sh to allow this and hope it'll be useful:
---------------------------------
bash-2.05b# diff bootstrap-2.6.sh bootstrap-2.6-new.sh 
22a23,27
> elif [ "$1" = "-pv" ]
> then
>         echo "Running in pretend-only mode..."
>         STRAP_EMERGE_OPTS="-pv"
>         unset STRAP_RUN
26,27c31,32
<       echo "--fetchonly or -f to download source archives only. -h/--help displays this"
<       echo "help."
---
>       echo "--fetchonly or -f to download source archives only, -h/--help displays this"
>       echo "help or -pv to see what packages will be installed."
----------------------------

Is this patch now officially applied? 

[Comment 5 Yuri Vasilevski (RETIRED) 2004-10-31 15:35:28 UTC]

I see this functionality is now provided by the scripts/bootstrap.sh scripts with:
$ scripts/bootstrap.sh -p -v

Closing this/my feature request.
