It would be nice to have here some examples of rarely used emerge applications.


Hello, I just want you to know that I did translate in french this man page. It's available at : http://www.lespotos.com/~tuxwiki/index.php/Man:emerge

Please use it if needed.


WARNING: The implementation of emerge /path/to/ebuild is broken and so this syntax shouldn't be used.

the man page should note that if you are trying to emerge a specific package (for example, emerge /usr/portage/something/mypackage-3-5.ebuild) instead of the most current one (emerge mypackage), use the equals operator (emerge =mypackage-3-5).

i freakin HATE documentation that only tells you what you CAN'T do.

  1. There is a syntax error with the word pparenthesis (output section).
  2. USE status is not only displayed when you use the --pretend and --verbose options. It's displayed also with the --ask and --verbose options (output section).
