 |
|
...do really all packages get recompiled with gcc 3.2 or just the ones listed in world? I am refering to the upgrade documentation on gentoo.org.
I know that an emerge -u world does not update all packages which are installed instead just the ones listed in world, not their dependencies.
I would like to recompile all packages with gcc 3.2. |

| Let's say you emerge apache which also emerges mod_php4 as a dependency, then only apache will be recorded in the world list. so when you recompile all programs from the world list, apache would get recompiled but mod_php4 not. |

the world file should only list packages which do not belong to the system - e.g. all the packages that get installed after stage 3.

WRONG. The world file does not contain all packages you installed after stage 3. It contains all packages you installed explicitly and not those that were installed to fill out dependencies.

portage does not do "deep dependencies" in older versions. It is documented behavior rather than a bug, I guess. From the portage man page:
| Quote: |
--update (-u)
Updates packages to the most recent version available. Note that --update does not have full functionality yet. It will not automatically update dependencies of packages in the world file, unless they too are in the world file.
|
This is being fixed in newer versions, I believe.
You can do an "emerge -e world" to pick up everything as mentioned in the update doc.

well .. recompiling the whole machine just to get the world file updated is like shooting with tanks after bee's ... wouldnt something like
| Code: | | emerge -ep world | sed -e "s/\[ebuild\ \ N\ \ \ \]\ //" > worldfile |
be sufficient to do the job??

Well, you certainly don't want your world file to contain all packages. The reason why don't want to do this has been discussed in many other threads.
The original poster wanted to recompile all packages with gcc 3.2. This is done with the "emerge -e..." as mentioned above.
