As a gentoo desktop user, update pkg though emerge is my daily job.
I've set 'emerge --sync && emerge -fuDU @world' as a cron job, and
I'm insisted in doing 'emerge -avuDU @world' manully everday.
Here's my question, I've noticed that 'emerge -avuUD @world' and 'emerge
-avguDU @world' will result in some differences, normal, 'guUD' will
result in less pkgs to be updated. And after 'guDU' finished, if I run
'uDU', seems still some pkgs need to be updated. I'm not sure why this
is. Is someone familiar with this?
And is there any other better way to upgrade for daily desktop mechine?
Hi.
Since -g installs binary packages, it may skip some dependencies that
are only required at build time. Probably that's what causes your
differences.
