And from there you can continue; like adding -vt --unordered-display and the list goes onto get a lot more detail, it can be handy to see what depends on what such that you don't look at a flat list wondering where a dependency came from. I haven't looked further at all the more specific parameters one can pass; but well, surely there's some objective and/or subjective improvement still possible there. > I have needed this more than once in the past.

Usually I debug / troubleshoot it for long enough to avoid that; but well, yeah, depending on the situation `emerge -e @world` could take a lot less time. Especially on a new Gentoo install where this might be more likely to happen as you often change things in the early days... --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/4YY5nnBAmoG0HygQ_vaL25s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSeANLAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9kbkH/2JBun3Mlnh9p+U98bTjQ9wZ nMwKmHl1RnVgkEasNZhn/vGy8MsBrJ/bpdoGMkDy6GQS4oSxcu8TbiLPkHQN+JRG ouTJF1QxzJwwUGESLVIQGGSZ4zqpEohr2gY/RyW5y9Zl2MO5NL2CpxcU8ZIEr1jp SQvPhaaR4LY8j1o1D/QYPsSkMeWYop+b9EtIoifhXqyW8eerxMmXbT3+8SwiLBQH Axbuh+QVzlXAY4VRMnP5klgzdMh7EsY4tMQ5/jvbHTfkCfvoGEzvlVKigdtJ5K2w j81QoQr9tHKD3QFvsLEVupkK015EPj/a0iEAt9lsdDDrDyZ/3pFu1zSewqjePaI= =OKas -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/4YY5nnBAmoG0HygQ_vaL25s--
