Of course I do, when the package is not already in world or system: there's now an easy abbreviation '-1'. But thanks for pointing out yet another negative feature of 'world' ... >> Otherwise, I keep a list of all the packages I have installed >> -- something Gentoo should provide automatically, but 'world' doesn't, > Yes it does. world provides a list of all packages YOU have installed. Rubbish ! It doesn't list packages installed in support of another during the same emerge command. > qpkg -I > equery list > find /var/db/pkg -name '*.ebuild' > will all do this. Yes exactly, as I said, I started my own list from 'qpkg -I', but that doesn't update the list nor tell me when/why I installed things. Really, I am constantly shocked by the blinkers some people wear: "That's the way you're supposed to do it & everyone else does". Anyway, enough of this side-issue for now. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
