You don't? For changes which could potentially affect things, I do. Only time I don't test every package is when it's obvious that there won't be a knock-on effect. One example of this would be when adding a new function to eutils or versionator -- of course, I grep the tree beforehand to make sure that there's no chance of a naming conflict. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
