Optimal situation for such would be if portage provided or knew about the sets @world and @noninteractive, and you could perform set mathematics on them: @world \\ @noninteractives or something. Hmm, maybe chalk that up for portage 4.7 feature list, right next to EAPI=4381? :D Otherwise I have no other solution apart from manual script-craftery -- emerge -pvuDN world, filter out interactive packages and packages depending on interactives, etc from the list, only emerge non-interactives. -- Arttu V.

I've not seen one for a long time, but they were usually used for proprietary packages that require you to interactively accept a license. Such things go against the spirit of portage so they are consequently rare. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Deny interactivity (e.g., in make.conf): ACCEPT_PROPERTIES=-interactive Then try to emerge something interactive: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy games-fps/enemy-territory have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - games-fps/enemy-territory-2.60b (masked by: interactive properties) I believe the source of this feature is this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/151113 Naturally, I'm running 2.2rc-series portage, so 2.1 might not have it. -- Arttu V.

Maybe some packages have interactivity marked only in their later versions, and others have it in their earlier ones? As the feature is not advertised on the portage man-page it could also be that it is still exceptionally buggy or non-functional somehow (but the bug was closed ...) ... and also, maybe there is another way to do this? This was the first one I found. Naturally, I'm running 2.2rc-series portage, so 2.1 might not have it. I do, this is a ~amd64 system. Ok, the box I tried that on was a mostly stable amd64, with only some end-user programs and libs (like mozilla-firefox and xulrunner) on testing. And naturally portage-2.2rc40, as you couldn't get kde4 without it the other year. -- Arttu V.
