Bug 487074 – emerge: write commands in one line, if possible

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jonas Stein 2013-10-06 08:17:16 UTC]

# emerge --depclean

 * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
 * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
 * be kept.  They can be manually added to this set with
 * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.  Packages that are listed in
 * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
 * depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
 * 
 * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
 * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved.  As a
 * consequence, it is often necessary to run `emerge --update
 * --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean.

================
The command "emerge --update --newuse --deep @world" was split on two lines
I suggest to write it on one line. Users can use gpm and will not have to retype it and it is better to read.

Reproducible: Always
