Description jon 2004-01-09 19:30:59 UTC

The build packages only option doesn't appear to work properly in either incarnation, either as -B or --buildpkgonly. I've tried this with features set to buildpkg and unset. The problem occurs in both cases.
Portage is version 2.0.49-r21.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -B package_name
2.
3.		
Actual Results:  
package_name gets installed (merged) as well as built. The tbz file lives in /usr/portage/packages 
as expected 

Expected Results:  
Just built the package, not merged it into databases nor installed binaries

You'll have to provide the output from emerge when you do this.
It works for me and I see no issues in the code.

Reopen if you can show verification.

Comment 3 jon 2004-01-13 10:27:42 UTC

My mistake. Comparing the output of emerge -B and emerge shows some clear (and very reassuring differences). Not sure what happened here, I'm positive it wasn't working before (hence the bug report!).
Thanks for your time,
