IMHO Portage should have a way to upgrade all installed packages. No need for dependencies checking (--deep) or world file, Just go through the list of all installed packages (that we can get with qpkg) and act as if there were part of the world file in the current implementation. In fact i think such an option should be the default one What do you think? Why would someone want to update only packages in the world file? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the previous method compared to the current --deep option? -- Louis-Philippe Brochu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
