However, It has some useful features that are deprecated or broken. 1) emerge --upgradeonly Why is this deprecated? I think it is endeed a useful feature. I'm not sure that the files /etc/portage/package* are a good (esay-to-use) replacement for it. 2) emerge ebuild by path Acording to the man page, this is broken, however it is the most obvious way to specify an ebuild, isn't it? Why is this feature broken, could anybody find out? I think is very important to keep the quality of portage to the highest standards, so I suggest not to realese as stable a version with important features broken.
