|
|
I connect with a home DSL line, its fast enough, but not so fast that new code gets to me in the blink of an eye. So that I would never have to wait for syncs and downloads, I put these lines into root's crontab:
Code: |
0 5 * * * /usr/bin/emerge sync >> ~root/emerge.sync.log
0 6 * * * /usr/bin/emerge -uf world >> ~root/emerge.uf.log
|
Now I know that my portage tree is no more than 24 hours out of date.
It would be really great if the system would automatically build the packages as well - the trouble is, I dont yet trust the system 100% so I dont want it installing new packages without my permission.
I would really like some command that lets me build (but not install) all the new packages. When I next log onto the system, I would like to be able to manually install the packages.
Can somebody suggest command line options for emerge that would do this for me? |

check out # emerge --help
Code: | --buildpkgonly (-B short option)
Creates binary a binary package, but does not merge it to the
system. This has the restriction that unsatisfied dependancies
must not exist for the desired package as they cannot be used if
they do not exist on the system. |
