-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I don't know if this would be considered a newbie question or not. I haven't really seen it asked, and I haven't been able to find any documentation that clearly states this, so I thought I would ask here. Why is the "--oneshot" option specified in the GLSA advisories? And how does that affect the different package groups (trees) in portage? If I update firefox with the --oneshot option, I know that it won't update the "world" tree, but why? Why is that the recommended procedure? Does that give me any benefit? Also, why would a package be available as a "--oneshot" and NOT through a normal "emerge -Dupv world"? I love how portage unifies the packaging system, and I feel like if I run all of these "--oneshot" updates for security fixes, that I'll have all of these "stray" programs running around on my system, that won't get updated next time I emerge "world". Can someone maybe shed a little light for me? Thanks. - -- gentux echo "hfouvyAdpy/ofu" | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint ==> 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDLjurLYGSSmmWCZMRAqqxAJ9LjFKFggkmVgD9SkeTcIkJ1gRbxQCfYZTX A3jilZ2/0hkV2JLMZoTp1VI= =onDU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
