Yesterday I was emerge -DuN @world clean. It took hours due to Gentoo decisions about multilib stuff. This morning I did an eix-sync and now I think I'm seeing new flags and rebuilding packages that are already installed. Why?
I'm wondering if the package dev/maintainer might have changed flags without rev'ing the package? [SIGH] After yesterday's updates I actually found myself thinking about looking for a new distro. I'm not sure Gentoo is really for me anymore, albeit it would be a big upset after using it for 12 years... [/SIGH] Thanks, Mark c2RAID6 ~ # emerge -fDuN @world Calculating dependencies... done!
