Description Thomas Bettler 2005-04-17 07:04:31 UTC

I'd like to see a dialog for user interaction on a collision detected by collision-protect.

1) Abort
2) Overwrite
3) List files
4) List conflict packages
5) ev. Diff for files
....

Emerge is non-interactive. Once portage has a proper API, other tools will be able to offer this sort of feature.

So I request a special parameter for this.

The world is not just about closing bugs, because we have to solve them.
Is about resolving them, because we want to get them integrated.

Yes, but it will never be available within emerge. When there is an interactive tool that doesn't do this, please file a bug (or reopen this one and assign) against that tool.
