Hmm, the man pages need to be seriously updated then. Better to use emerge --help instead, for valid options. *** Bug 2294 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 2574 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Working on updating the man pages. I think a good first cut is simply making man emerge = emerge --help, without colour and with the helpful 'WARNING' with regards to shells and escaping slashes. Thoughts? Assigning to me. I'm about halfway done with the emerge man page update. how is this coming, phil? The emerge man page update is completely done, as I'm sure you can see (with the exception of adding information on environment variables, which is a RFE). I have no idea where to start with the rest, since I've never used them and would need to dive into the technical details of how they work. Help from anyone who knows about them would be greatly appreciated. what about the ebuild man page ? it still needs to updated (functions/variable references) *** Bug 8521 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Anyone is more than welcome to help with the updates. Getting the information for the updates is definitely non-trivial--it took me a while to get the info for the 'emerge' man page. Any help is appreciated. I don't have the time or ability necessary to work on this as it needs to be done. Taking it off of my plate--someone else who has the time needs to pick it up. I'll be happy to help them in any way I can if they need help on the man format, etc. is this still valid? //ZhEN What is going on with this bug? //ZhEN Carpaski: Where cold this information be retrieved from? I haven't seen sunflare in a long time - and we need the info in order to fix this bug. What vars is he talking about? Cheers, //ZhEN You said that you wanted all of the dev doc bugs ;-) Cheers, //ZhEN bah file new bugs about specific issues ... ive 'updated' the manpages to portage-2.0.44 ... i'm workin on 44->46 but file new bugs here on out, thx dad |
