Bug 415009 – emerge : print summary about what will happen if "--ask" is not given

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Toralf Förster 2012-05-07 12:32:01 UTC]

It is a nifty thing  for users who don't want be asked before, but want to see what will happen.

Reproducible: Always

Like --verbose would?

Yeah, that causes the merge list to be displayed, since this commit:

Right, and that doesn't work :

$> emerge --update --with-bdeps=y @world --verbose
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-libs/nss-3.13.4
>>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-libs/nss-3.13.4
>>> Jobs: 1 of 1 complete                           Load avg: 3.88, 3.64, 2.99


FWIW:
$> grep DEFAULT /etc/make.conf
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--autounmask=n --quiet-build=y --keep-going=y --nospinner --tree --deep --quiet"

--quiet disables the merge list display.

Yes - and without --quiet the whole output from "amke" is given :-(

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2012-05-08 15:15:04 UTC]

Maybe you can just use --quiet-build=y.
