Hi folks I just wondered what packages are not going to be updated through emerge -u world.... so I came up with a little perl script.... it lists all the packages left unupdated... and only LISTS.... Please not, that I'm not a regular perl hacker, so check the code befor u use it, and if you want - send me updates :) cheers xor

technically, this shouldnt be a problem, it is being worked on `emerge gentoolkit` (if gentoolkit isnt installed) for a simpler bash script, you could do: #!/bin/bash WD=/var/cache/edb/ mv ${WD}/world ${WD}/world.old qpkg -nc -I>${WD}/world emerge world -u mv ${WD}/world.old ${WD}/world *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5872 ***
cool.... my perl script survived 9m... until it got replaced by an evil shell script ;) no... to be honest... it's cool, that there's such a simple way... and now there's a solution also for the non "emerge perl"'d people. but hey, it was got practice for me :)
