 Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2002 11:18 am Post subject: emerge --deep option inconsistency |
 |
|
When using the --deep (undocumented) option with emerge I notice it not only pulls "deeper" for updating packages, it also list the packages that will be emerged in a different order then if not used, here and #emerge system example with and without --deep:
| Code: | solar root # emerge -up system
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating system dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.5.5 [1.8.5.4-r0]
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/perl-5.8.0-r3 [5.6.1-r7]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/iptables-1.2.7a-r1 [1.2.7a-r0]
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/readline-4.3-r4 [4.3-r3]
solar root # emerge -up --deep system
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating system dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/perl-5.8.0-r3 [5.6.1-r7]
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/readline-4.3-r4 [4.3-r3]
[ebuild U ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.1 [2.0-r4]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.5.5 [1.8.5.4-r0]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/iptables-1.2.7a-r1 [1.2.7a-r0]

The different order seam to repeat wheter same packages are listed or not (aka --deep triggers more to emerge). I'm just currious to know if this is a known behaviour and if it makes a difference or at least if there exist any sane logical reason for this?

| This is just a guess, but perhaps it is because the flat emerge -u does a linear search, while --deep does a recursive one - which (if true) would provoke a different order. Not sure that it matters provided that dependencies are listed before dependants. |

Well the only documentation are the forums, that's how I came across it... while "-u world" just go check your world file for newer and that the dependencies are satisfying, by adding "--deep" it looks, exactly, deeper to see if there is newer versions as well of the dependencies to those listed in the world file.
I don't know why it's "undocumneted" (I personally hate that term, sounds as something related to M$), but I guess they (the dev team) have their reasons. Like it comes with some "risks" to use. personally I use it most with --pretend and then emerge individually. That way it also ends up in the world file...
