"emerge --info" would be great to have :) (e.g for EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS) And just to be sure: "emerge" isn't some alias? "emerge -pv portage" could be helpful, too.

Fair enough :-) What's interesting: after emerge -uDN @world @system portage has been updatet to 2.3.24, but as you can see below emerge -pv portage would do nothing at all. ------------------------------------------------------------ emerge -pv portage These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Oh, and of course it's not an alias: which emerge /usr/bin/emerge ls -l /usr/bin/emerge lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Feb 3 08:59 /usr/bin/emerge -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2
This is due to --changed-deps=y. I also tried to enable this option globally, but it turned out it has this side effect.
But since --changed-deps implies --selective, maybe this is intended behaviour: $ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -1qpv --changed-deps=y portage $ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -1qpv --selective y portage $ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -1qpv --changed-deps=y --selective n portage [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.3.23 [2.3.19-r1] USE="(ipc) native-extensions rsync-verify%* (xattr) -build -doc -epydoc (-selinux)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5 -pypy -python3_4 -python3_6" $ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -1qpv --changed-deps=y --update portage [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.3.23 [2.3.19-r1] USE="(ipc) native-extensions rsync-verify%* (xattr) -build -doc -epydoc (-selinux)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5 -pypy -python3_4 -python3_6"
The emerge --selective option (and --changed-deps, --changed-use, --newuse etc) causes 'emerge --oneshot portage' to skip the upgrade, at least partially due to this commit from bug 275945: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=5f32c4bf10301d154aa35aaf5653afeadcd520d6 Adding --update to the options causes the update to occur. Maybe this behavior is desirable, since it's commonly suggested to add packages to the world file with 'emerge --noreplace <atom>', and the user does not necessarily want to upgrade the package with that command (--noreplace is equivalent to --selective).

Don't forget that emerge @preserved-rebuild will also do nothing (at least in my case). This is confusing as hell. On the one hand you're being warned when you're syncing and changed-deps is not enabled, on the other hand if you *are* enabling it (by putting it into EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS) emerge silenty ignores updates, even explicit ones (-1, @preserved-rebuild). I'd like some clarification: when do you need --changed-deps and when it's a bad idea to enable change-deps?

I suppose we could probably trigger a warning message if EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS results in an effective --selective setting, since it's probably always by mistake. > This is confusing as hell.

I'd like some > clarification: when do you need --changed-deps and when it's a bad idea to > enable change-deps? Since portage-2.3.24, you really don't need --changed-deps, because the default settings have been reverted to include --dynamic-deps=y once again (see bug 646458), so you'll get the effective dependency changes without having to rebuild the package with changed dependencies. Also, the message that advised you to use --changed-deps has been disabled by default (bug 645780).
