Hi!

I've got a problem when I try to write a filelist to disk
with emerge:

# emerge -pu -f world > filelist.lst

It used to work fine with previous versions but with
portage-2.0.49-r3, 'filelist.lst' only contains the message:

"Calculatind dependencies ...done!"

The filelist itself is written to the screen instead of the
file.

Has anybode else encountered the same problem? Any hints are
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

- Stephan

emerge -pu world 2>&1 >filelist.lst

I just tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.
The result is still the same: The filelist appears on
screen, not in the file.

emerge -pu world >filelist.lst 2>&1
or
emerge -pu world &>filelist.lst

I think the command you tried means:
"2>&1": Pipe stderr to the same as stdout (the screen).
">filelist.lst": Pipe stdout to file.
Stderr remains piped to screen.

Swapping the two redirect-commands will make stdout go to file, then
make stderr goto the same as stdout (i.e. file).
