Here is an example of the expected output: (be advised, this is simulated based on what I see in my head, I have done no work to actually produce these results) stewie ~ # emerge -vp --diff irssi These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] net-irc/irssi-0.8.15 USE="ipv6 perl -ssl -socks5" 927 kB Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 4,611 kB stewie ~ # echo =net/irssi-0.8.15 ssl >>/etc/portage/package.use/irssi stewie ~ # emerge -vp --diff irssi These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8o USE="gmp sse2 zlib -bindist -kerberos -test" 3,685 kB *** WARNING *** This is a DIFF output of your emerge process. To see full list drop '--diff' from your list of used switches. (Or something like this) I don't imagine that many people would be interested in an option like this. In the rare cases when something like this is needed, it's not too difficult to do it manually with shell commands.

But what about thoes that don't know how to do that with a shell command? To be honest, I don't know how. I am sure I could learn but that is beyond the scope of what my Gentoo server does (as a simple file/local dns server). Thats where I thought this command/switch would come into play. |
