Bug 634092 – sys-apps/portage: emerge --unmerge should respect --exclude

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Joakim Tjernlund 2017-10-12 11:45:48 UTC]

emerge -pC sys-kernel/vanilla-sources --exclude sys-kernel/vanilla-sources:4.9.53
 * This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use
 * `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before
 * removing packages.

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 sys-kernel/vanilla-sources
    selected: 4.4.23 4.4.24 4.4.25 4.4.27 4.4.30 4.4.31 4.8.9 4.8.17 4.9.10 4.9.11 4.9.12 4.9.13 4.9.14 4.9.15 4.9.16 4.9.17 4.9.20 4.9.23 4.9.24 4.9.25 4.9.33 4.9.36 4.9.42 4.9.44 4.9.51 4.9.52 4.9.53 4.12.8

emerge still wants to remove 4.9.53

gentle ping

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2017-10-23 07:40:24 UTC]

Seems like a reasonable idea.

[Comment 3 Joakim Tjernlund 2017-11-04 10:24:40 UTC]

Gentle ping ;-)

[Comment 4 Joakim Tjernlund 2017-12-29 16:38:10 UTC]

ohh, today I need --exclude @system, like in

emerge -e @system 
emerge -e @world --exclude @system

Pretty please :)

[Comment 5 Joakim Tjernlund 2018-01-18 18:48:22 UTC]

ping?

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2018-01-18 18:55:32 UTC]

Still not implemented, but will be very easy to do.

Please file a separate bug for each action. This bug is for --unmerge only. Adding support for --depclean would be a separate action, separate bug.

[Comment 8 Zac Medico 2018-03-22 00:56:06 UTC]

The "emerge -e @world --exclude @system" thing from comment #4 can be considered as a command line set operator expression for an installation action, which could make use of the set operator expressions discussed in bug 322883.

The "emerge -pC sys-kernel/vanilla-sources --exclude sys-kernel/vanilla-sources:4.9.53" thing from comment #0 can be considered as a command line set operator expression for an unmerge action, which could also make use of the set operator expressions discussed in bug 322883.
