From my understanding, world includes @system but @world does not. I
know here on my rig, I run emerge -uvDNa world and it updates
everything installed including deps and the system packages. If I run
@world, it skips the system packages. At least that is the last time I
tried it which was not to long ago.
One reason I remember this is because of the discussion I had with the
devs on -dev. That is why @system is in /var/lib/portage/world_sets.
I noticed a few weeks ago that there are a couple others added to it as
well. The devs did it that way so that when folks like me upgrade the
old fashioned way and just use world instead of @system and @world.
Has this changed?
No, the world_sets file still includes @system by default, which is why
@world includes @system.
The additions are from when you emerged sets, which adds then to
world_sets.
But if you removed, temporarily, the @system from the world sets, then
you get just one. Did this a while back and it worked at the time. Not
going to say it would work today tho. We all know how portage is. It
is like shooting a bullet with another bullet. ;-)
As was pointed out to me many times, @system is not the same as system.
Same can be said for world and @world.
Sorry so long to reply.
