I think you maybe are looking for "emerge -u world".

Cheers Jo

emerge -u --deep world

If you type emerge <something> in the past, it will be checked when you emerge world. Have a look at your /var/cache/edb/world file to see all the packages you've manually emerged. It does not contain dependent packages that were emerged, hence the "--deep" flag in the above command. "emerge -u world" alone just looks at your world file and updates those packages whereas when the --deep flag is used I think it also goes and checks dependency packages for updates.
