[gentoo-dev] BUG or feature: --fetchonly packages get added to world profile

[Thilo Bangert]

Hi,

just noticed that if you do
# emerge --fetchonly <package>

then package will get added to world, like this

>>> Recording media-libs/libggi in "world" favorites file...

Bug or feature?

i vote for bug, since the package is not really installed
imagine somebody doing downloads for somebody else..

-- 
regards
Thilo

I agree, it should be considered a bug.

Could you please file a bug report on http://bugs.gentoo.org?
