Calculating system dependencies ...done! Should "emerge -pu system world" do the same thing as "emerge -pu world system"?
well yes, but you shouldnt have to put the 2 together ... world also updates system ... and you only have to do `emerge --version`
man emerge does not explicitly say that the --version option returns a unified version for portage and I wanted to be sure I provided the ebuild version number rather than a specific program's version number that could be different.
OK, portage 2.0.28 will have clear errors when specifying weird options ("world" and "system" aren't supposed to be specified at the same time)
Thank you.
