You won't see them, nor any updates to packages that are only dependencies of package not in world. In short, you break your system. The only time I use --oneshot for new installs is when trying a package to see if I want it. If I do, I add it to world with --noreplace. If I don't find it useful, my next emerge --depclean reminds me to remove it. --=20 Neil Bothwick Foolproof operation: No provision for adjustment. --Sig_2a.Q6YbmE=DYwpxcsOdb1bJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEq5AEum4al0N1GQMRAlsSAJ0aWxCLPqcgPCIHhbKA0x/s5GbSWgCeJDbu ihbFeS88a5JPrO2c0quFqJc= =qR/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_2a.Q6YbmE=DYwpxcsOdb1bJ-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
