Description Alberto Ornaghi 2002-11-16 06:03:04 UTC

it can be useful to put in the "world" file even the packages installed to
satisfy dependencies.

for example apsfilter needs imagemagick. if I don't have it in my system, emerge
apsfilter will trigger the compilation of imagemagick, but it is not inserted in
the world file.

IMHO this is not correct.  the next emerge --update world should update even
imagemagic, not only apsfilter...

bye

That is not the intent of the world file.
Use 'emerge -u --deep world'
Docs are forthcoming.
