Dont know if this could be a nice feature .. I made a patch two weeks ago for this. But I'm not sure it's useful.. example. # emerge -pve lv These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

patch for portage.py/emerge
well the idea is this: emerge bitchx -p -[ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r8 ---[ebuild N ] app-text/ghostscript-7.05.6-r3 --[ebuild N ] net-print/cups-1.1.19-r1 --[ebuild N ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.1 --[ebuild N ] app-arch/cabextract-0.6 -[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 -[ebuild N ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.3-r3 -[ebuild N ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6j [ebuild N ] net-irc/bitchx-1.0.19-r5 that way you can say 'ok, so bitchx will pull in ssl, curses, glibc, xfree ... xfree will pull in cabextract, fontconfig, cups ... cups will pull in ghostscript' you're not sitting there going 'ok, wth is pullin in ghostscript and how can i kill them' My patch just reverses the list. Which is good? I like my style. :) And do we need new option for this(example --depth)? Or it works when you append --verbose. reversing it is fine so long as it does a correct tree ;) i'd say just piggyback 'verbose' Use --tree Buy change the format using whitespace instead of '-' and only vary the positioning. [XXXXXX FLAGS] net-irc/bitchx [XXXXXX FLAGS] dev-libs/openssl Better tree-like ordering would be nice, but can be worked out later. Created attachment 15652 [details, diff]
patch for portage.py/emerge
I modified.
# emerge -pe --tree lv
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] app-text/lv-4.49.5-r1
[ebuild N ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.3-r1
[ebuild N ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1
[ebuild N ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1
[ebuild N ] sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.2
[ebuild N ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12

Created attachment 16404 [details, diff] patch for portage.py/emerge I improved this patch when it's specified --deep option I think this patch is very usuful for beginer and expert of portage Example ("nomerge" lines are darkblue.) # emerge -UDp --tree world >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, recalculate dependencies, and complete the merge. [nomerge ] dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2-r4 [nomerge ] net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r1 [ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r3 [2.1.4] [nomerge ] app-i18n/canna-3.6_p3-r2 [ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 [ebuild U ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 [2.4.20-r5] [nomerge ] net-www/mod_auth_pgsql-0.9.12 [nomerge ] dev-db/postgresql-7.3.4 [nomerge ] app-admin/sudo-1.6.7_p5 [ebuild N ] dev-db/postgresql-tools-7.3.4 [ebuild N ] dev-db/postgresql-libs-7.3.4 this looks quite relly good, could this plz be added soon Created attachment 19474 [details, diff]
patch for emerge/portage.py
new patch for current portage sources
I second that request, this make emerge -u --deep world make sense :) Nice. You even caught --tree --columns. :) Looking it over now. Included for next release. |
Emerge --pretend should list packages in a tree format so that we can understand which packages depend on which ones. Example foo [ U] \---- > bar [N] \-----> bork [U] \--- >bleh [U] bleep [N] \-----> bloop [U]
