Good catch Volker. I didn't notice that part. He needs to become
very familiar with the -1 option but even that is not good in every
case. If it is a package that needs to be in world, then that option
shouldn't be used either otherwise a --depclean would remove it.
He's updating, so packages that need to be in world are already there.
If he is using the command he typed in, his world file is going to be
huge. Read what he wrote again. He is doing the updates individually
without a -u or a -1 or anything else. That means every time he
updates, that package goes into the world file.
I read, and understood, what he wrote, even if it turned out to be not
wheat he meant. I was responding to your "If it is a package that needs
to be in world, then that option shouldn't be used either otherwise a
--depclean would remove it." which is not true if the package is already
in world.
I was making the point tho that if it is a new emerge and needs to be in
world, then the -1 option would not add it. If a person them runs
--depclean, it would them remove the package and its dependencies. I
know for me at least, I rarely re-emerge the same package twice by
hand. If I change the USE flags, I let -n catch that. If it is a
update, I let -u catch that.
