• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Attila Jecs 2011-01-23 19:16:55 UTC]

i have the same issue in 2 gentoo boxes, 1 old install with 2.2 portage and 1 fresh install with 2.1 portage.
after updating succesfully with emerge -DuN world, if i reissue the command it says nothing to do, but if i run emerge -e world -pv it gives some updates.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -DuN world
2. emerge -DuN world
3. emerge -e world -pv

[Comment 1 Sebastian Luther (few) 2011-01-23 19:31:52 UTC]

Please add --with-bdeps=y to your command line. If the updates still don't show up, post the exact command and the output, otherwise it's intended behavior.

[Comment 2 Attila Jecs 2011-01-23 19:40:26 UTC]

ok, --with-bdeps=y brought in the remaining updates, thx.

how can i make it permanent? if i want to keep all packages up-to-date?

[Comment 3 Attila Jecs 2011-01-23 19:46:52 UTC]

echo EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=\"--with-bdeps y\" >> /etc/make.conf

You can add it to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/make.conf. Note that there is not much point in doing so, as build-only deps are only used to build their reverse dependencies. If a reverse dependency is updated the build-only dep will be updated too.

[Comment 5 Attila Jecs 2011-01-23 20:02:07 UTC]

i'd like to update them anyways, so the out-of portege programs can benefit from their updated versions before their reverse dependencies get and update.

say A is a build time dep
B is a package that need A to build
C is a software not in portage
if i update everything C can use A2 before B2 released
if i don't, then C uses A1 until B2 released
