Hello,
I occasionally would like a command like --only-deps or so. (And *not* add them to the world file) Please consider this for a future version of portage. 
Thanks,
Jeremy

We've already got a --onlydeps option. Does it behave like you'd want?

Ya, indeed. I filed this bug because I didn't see it in emerge --help anywhere. (But it is in the man page) Mind adding it there too then?

Okay, I've added it to the short --help output in svn r12351.

This is fixed in 2.1.6.4 and 2.2_rc20.
