Description Mikael Magnusson 2013-02-22 12:50:25 UTC
It used to be that you could write emerge --help --verbose to see detailed information about all options, but since a while ago, this just prints the same short help as emerge --help.

Last working version seems to be 2.2.0_alpha59, in alpha60 it started printing the short output.

Yes, it was removed in order to avoid duplication.

We could make it call `man 1 emerge` automatically.
Comment 2 Mikael Magnusson 2013-02-23 11:28:27 UTC
Ah, in this case, the --help output should probably have this line changed;

   emerge --help [ --verbose ]
