Description Abraham Smith 2005-07-24 06:46:00 UTC

I consider the behaviour of "emerge -Bk package" versus "emerge -B package" to
be a bug. 

I expected that emerge -B always forces a package to NOT emerge to the system,
but to only build a binary.  and -k simply means use a binary package if available.

Hence, 
EXPECTED:
emerge -B: creates package.tbz2 from source and does not emerge to system
emerge -Bk: creates package.tbz2 from source (or stop with success if
appropriate old tbz2 exists) and does not emerge to system

ACTUAL:
emerge -B: creates package.tbz2 from source and does not emerge to system
emerge -Bk: creates package.tbz2 from source (or package if it exists) and
*emerges to system*


This is compounded when FEATURES="getbinpkg" is enabled, as that implies
"usepkg", so "emerge -B" is impossible in the don't-merge-to-system sense.
