So, first, this is just a random local variable and has no meaning in and of itself. It is used in the dependency string which makes that version of bash dependent on readline v8 specifically. Other packages that don't list a version of readline will accept any version that isn't masked/etc. So they're fine with v8. > > The emerge that I used was this: > > emerge -auDv --verbose-conflicts --changed-use --keep-going --with-bdeps=y > --changed-deps --backtrack=100 @system Yeah, you might have to include the other packages that need readline if portage complains. > > However, I was just able to get it to build with this script: > > $ cat update-readline > #!/usr/bin/env bash > emerge -uUv $(cat <<-eof > sys-libs/readline > dev-db/postgresql > sys-apps/gawk > net-wireless/wpa_supplicant > sys-fs/lvm2 > dev-lang/python > dev-lang/lua > sci-visualization/gnuplot > dev-db/postgresql > app-text/hunspell > sys-fs/udftools > sys-block/parted > x11-wm/fvwm > net-misc/ntp > sys-devel/gdb > dev-db/postgresql > sys-libs/gdbm > net-mail/mailutils > app-misc/rlwrap > sys-devel/bc > dev-libs/libxml2 > net-dns/bind-tools > eof > ) > That will probably work. Offhand I'm not sure if you need to add -1 / --oneshot to that to prevent all that cruft from being added to your world file. -- Rich
