[gentoo-user] Piping "emerge -a" to some other command

Greetings, since the output of "emerge -a" might be long, and since on a stock con- sole you cannot scroll, I had the idea of piping it into "tee", and in case I'm unsure just to say "No" to the question of whether or not I would like to merge these packages and then to inspect the "emerge"

[gentoo-user] Options for "emerge"

Greetings, some time back it was pointed out on this list to only use "--changed- use" rather than "--newuse". So I've meanwhile removed this option (and also a few others) from my update script which I had created early after installing Gentoo. It now basically runs $ sudo emerge --ask
