I have uploaded a new version. I have given it the (rather arbitrary) version number 0.8.

New features:

- when prompted for the package numbers, you can simply enter 'a' or 'all', if you want all packages in the list

- if you call the script with rsync/sync as the first argument, pye will perform syncing first, before giving you the list of packages (e.g. pye rsync -U system)

Minor update, version 0.8.1. The script now works with the search function of emerge; that is, e.g. pye -s gkrellm will give a numbered list of packages matching the keyword 'gkrellm' and you can install any of them right away.

This is a great and very useful script dr_strange ... ! thx for it ...
My just 2 cents ...
Why not adding the -v option to

dr_strange · Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2004 7:37 am Post subject:

Well, you can always add -v yourself, like pye -vD world; the -p is hardwired only for precaution, so that the script does not begin to emerge world right away, but I wanted to leave all the other options up to the user.

I will think about the colorized output, and I have another feature in mind I will probably implement soon.

On the other hand, I've never tried for instance how the -v option would behave when used together with, say, the -s option.

I just have to say that this script rocks

I have been wanting something like this for a while... without the skills or the time to make it myself. Great work!

dr_strange · Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2004 9:54 pm Post subject:

Version 0.8.2 up.

I've written in a new functionality; I do not know how useful people will find it, but there it is: if one says pye prune, the script will list all installed packages as found in /var/db/pkg (the portage vartree) numbered, and you can choose the ones you want to unmerge. Personally I find it useful to look through the packages from time to time and remove those I haven't ever really used.
CAVEAT and TODO: this doesn't yet check for possible dependencies unmerged.

As I said before, this is one of the best gentoo tools I use. Thanks greatly. I ran into a problem that I am not sure if others see frequently but I see it now more frequently than I like. Here is what happens when I use

dr_strange · Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2004 9:01 am Post subject:

Possibly yes, but what is the benefit of using pye on a single package?
OTOH I've also seen packages that for some reason appear in two categories and this halts pye and one has to emerge the correct package manually.

I'll think about this prob.
