that's orthogonal to the issue and the target. the OP wanted to upgrade "all packages" which is @installed. if you want to rebuild when USE flags change, then use --newuse. no target should imply different option behavior. > Also, this doesn't work in stable portage - I assume this is something > available in the newer branch. it works for me, but i'm using latest portage (the _alpha## stuff). any proposed change would require an update anyways ... > Also - will doing an emerge -u @installed add those packages to @world > - ie do we need to throw a -1 in there, or is this behavior coded in > as an exception? i don't know about set behavior and the world file. it would make sense to me that "world" would special case @system and @installed and not add it to @world unlike other sets (i know that other sets do get added to world).
