world is for the Gentoo portage system to organize your world file
and to find installed packages or differences to @world (--depclean)
This project has several purposes:
- It lets you save/restore your
worldfile and compare with the backups - It can output your installed packages
- It can output the packages which would be installed from
@world, and it can compare them with 3.
For instance, the following is similar to emerge --depclean:
emerge --unmerge `world -2 test`
For more details, see the output of world help.
For installation, copy bin/* with executable permission in your $PATH.
To obtain support for zsh completion, you can copy zsh/* to a
directory of yozr zsh's $fpath.
There is also an ebuild (app-portage/world-mv) in the mv overlay
(which is available over layman).
