Using "emerge --update foo" adds "foo" to your world file. This is responsible for pretty much every package that incorrectly found its way into one of my world files.

Is there any reason to desire the current behavior? I'd like to suggest that it be fixed, but want to be sure I'm not just being short-sighted.



We noticed that a while back too. I added --oneshot to my make.conf setting to prevent this. When you want something added to the world file, check into the --select option. I'm pretty sure that is the one.

I do agree that updates shouldn't add things to the world file but I wouldn't hold my breath on it getting changed.

Miss the compile output?  Hint:
