Bug 48397 – Would it not be nice if "emerge gnome" could show all updates for gnome?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xake 2004-04-19 13:33:01 UTC]

I would think it would be nice if it was possible to do for exampel

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gnome -pv

and it had shown all uninstalled/updated packages related to the masked gnome.
Especially now when the whole gnome 2.6 package is masked making it hard to see if something related to the gnome-2.6-package is updated. The only way I know right now is:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge world -upv

and manually look for the packages.

This is a feature I could wait for but it would be really be nice.

Reproducible: Always

Like:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -Dupv gnome

or 
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -oupv gnome
?

or for a shorter version:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -opv gnome

reopen if I am missing the point. Or this doesn't fill your needs.

Can't right now test -Dupb and -oupv.
I can currently not reach my gentoo-box.

But -upv does not do the trick since if I already have installed gnome 2.6 and a package is updated without gnome 2.6 being updated then -upv gives nothing in output.
