Description Wojciech Potentas 2004-11-13 00:43:54 UTC

bootstrap.sh script hasn't have the option of "--upgradeonly" - 'not to remeemerge 
packeges emerged previosly' (for example - the power has get down during boostrap,
or host with the remote shell in wich the boostrap was executed crashed and a user
want to continue and the moment it crashed). I added the option of --upgrade to 
boostrap.sh wich adds "-u" to STRAP_EMERGE_OPTS global variable, and then the 
emerge is executed with -u option. Then only new packgages are emerged.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
 The software should work with --upgrade option witch was added by me to
the script and included in this report.
