Description Art "fREW" Schmidt 2003-05-20 19:57:19 UTC
For a while now whenever I emerge at all the output seems way too...much.  Here
is an example:

emerge -upd world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
Parent:    ebuild / x11-wm/openbox-2.3.1 merge
Depstring: dev-util/pkgconfig =sys-apps/sed-4* !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch )
virtual/xft nls? ( sys-devel/gettext ) x11-misc/commonbox-utils
x11-themes/commonbox-styles !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch )
Candidates: ['virtual/xft', 'x11-themes/commonbox-styles',
'x11-misc/commonbox-utils', '=sys-apps/sed-4*', 'dev-util/pkgconfig',
'sys-devel/patch', 'sys-devel/gettext']

Exiting... ebuild / x11-wm/openbox-2.3.1 merge                                 
                                       ...done!

Comment 1 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-20 20:21:19 UTC
What did you expect?

From the emerge man page:

       --debug (-d short option)
              Tell emerge to run the ebuild command in --debug mode. In this
              mode, the bash build environment will run with the -x option,
              causing it to output verbose debug information print to stdout.
              --debug is great for finding bash syntax errors as providing
              very verbose information about the dependency and build process.

try running it without the -d.

Oh, I am really sorry, I thought -d was deep.  Thanks.
