When I do "paludis --install world", I expect all packages which are
out-of-date to be upgraded. But, I think paludis will actually skip
packages which are only build dependencies. That kinda makes sense I
guess? If a package A is only needed to build package B and package B
is already installed and current, package A isn't needed by anything
so there's no point upgrading it. But, I was hoping there would be an
option to tell paludis to include build deps as well as runtime deps
when working out what packages it should install. I've checked the man
page and there doesn't seem to be anything?

So at the moment, I do both "paluds --install world" and "paludis
--uninstall-unused" and both show there's nothing to do. However, if I
do a "paludis --install world --dl-reinstall always -p", I see there's
3 packages which would be upgraded. I've checked all those packages
(ed, cmake & app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets) and they are only
listed as build deps.


Cheers,

Tom
