From 72f83d8078da7aab7be9236b86be1526c15a4185 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zac Medico Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:36:58 -0700 Subject: Make emerge --noreplace identical to --selective. This removes a very subtle difference in --noreplace package selection logic which is not very useful and triggers strange package selection choices in some cases, as reported in bug #375571. --- man/emerge.1 | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'man/emerge.1') diff --git a/man/emerge.1 b/man/emerge.1 index df576ee10..4a19bdb26 100644 --- a/man/emerge.1 +++ b/man/emerge.1 @@ -488,10 +488,7 @@ Skips the packages specified on the command\-line that have already been installed.
