So when reading that list of dependencies I had, do we start at the bottom
and work up? For example below, blackdown is last, and lib-compat is above
it meaning blackdown will depend on it. And lib-compat depends on libsdl?
In general, that is correct. Emerge will install packages starting from
the one listed last, and work up.
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libsdl-1.2.8-r1 -X -aalib -alsa +arts -debug -dga
-directfb -esd -fbcon -ggi -libcaca -nas -noaudio -nojoystick -novideo
+opengl +oss -pic -svga -xinerama +xv 2,541 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-libs/lib-compat-1.4 +sdl 3,090 kB
[ebuild U ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01-r2 [1.4.2.01] -doc -mozilla 0 kB
I always include the -t flag when running emerge. This flag shows the
dependent ebuilds indented so that you can see much more clearly which
packages depend on other packages.
As an example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cshelton # emerge -avDtu world
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[nomerge ] net-mail/grepmail-5.30
[nomerge ] dev-perl/Inline-0.44-r1 +gtk2
[ebuild U ] perl-core/File-Spec-0.87 [0.84-r1] 30 kB
[ebuild U ] app-editors/nano-1.3.7 [1.3.4] -build -debug +justify*
+ncurses +nls -nomac -slang +spell* -unicode 985 kB
Total size of downloads: 1,016 kB
In this case, there is an updated version of perl-core/File-Spec available
that is needed by dev-perl/Inline, which in turn is needed by
net-mail/grepmail.
