I don’t understand this --oneshot option? I've never used it in all my
gentoo years. Why wouldn't I want packages in my world file? Isn't that how
they get updated when new ones come out? Anything in my 'emerge -avu world',
I would not have a --oneshot for, so why would I do it any different if I
manually did 'emerge -av pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 ...'?
