Something has changed recently with 'emerge'. Whenever I use the -D option, which I am pretty much in the habbit of typing 'emerge -Dav' or 'emerge -Davu world/system', I notice it pulling in more stuff than it should. It never acted like this before. It's only been within the past few weeks. On an older Gentoo server (which I don't upgrade nearly as often as my notebook above) it doesn't exhibit this behaviour.
The difference in portage is: 2.1.2_pre1-r3 and 2.1-r2 # emerge -av sys-apps/baselayout [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 [1.12.5] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB # emerge -Dav sys-apps/baselayout [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 [1.12.5] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4 [2.4.3-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline ssl -bootstrap -build -doc -nocxx -tk% -ucs2 (-X%*) (-tcltk%)" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2 [5.8.8-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm -build -debug -doc -ithreads -perlsuid" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d [0.9.8c-r2] USE="zlib -bindist -emacs -sse2 -test" 0 kB # emerge -av sys-apps/baselayout [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 [1.12.5] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB # emerge -Dav sys-apps/baselayout [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 [1.12.5] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4 [2.4.3-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline ssl -bootstrap -build -doc -nocxx -tk% -ucs2 (-X%*) (-tcltk%)" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2 [5.8.8-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm -build -debug -doc -ithreads -perlsuid" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d [0.9.8c-r2] USE="zlib -bindist -emacs -sse2 -test" 0 kB # emerge -Davu sys-apps/baselayout [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 [1.12.5] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4 [2.4.3-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline ssl -bootstrap -build -doc -nocxx -tk% -ucs2 (-X%*) (-tcltk%)" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2 [5.8.8-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm -build -debug -doc -ithreads -perlsuid" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d [0.9.8c-r2] USE="zlib -bindist -emacs -sse2 -test" 0 kB # emerge -avu sys-apps/baselayout [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 [1.12.5] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 0 kB ÐÆ5ÏÐ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
