From f8e0c75e0952d04cb518ad0914ad440f1b43f52d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zac Medico Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:01:36 -0700 Subject: Add emerge --dynamic-deps option. This makes it possible to disable the dynamic dependency updates that FakeVartree performs by default. WARNING: If --dynamic-deps is disabled, then it is necessary to ensure that an alternative method is used to handle package moves in dependencies of installed packages. Normally, this is handled by FEATURES="fixpackages", which is enabled by default and may be disabled via make.conf(5). Alternatively, in order to manually apply package moves, run `emaint --fix moveinst` after each emerge --sync operation (see emaint(1)). --- man/emerge.1 | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) (limited to 'man/emerge.1') diff --git a/man/emerge.1 b/man/emerge.1 index 62bfd5ecd..10be7895c 100644 --- a/man/emerge.1 +++ b/man/emerge.1 @@ -407,6 +407,22 @@ when FEATURES="preserve\-libs" is enabled in \fBmake.conf\fR(5), since any libraries that have consumers will simply be preserved. .TP +.BR "\-\-dynamic\-deps < y | n >" +In dependency calculations, substitute the dependencies of installed +packages with the dependencies of corresponding unbuilt ebuilds from +source repositories.
