If you're running a hosting server, and have many customers using the same app, it may not be practical to bump them all at the same time. * They may have different busy periods during the day, making it impossible to schedule a common downtime. * Many upgrades require manual steps - it's less disruptive to upgrade each installation one at a time. * Different customers may want or need to run different versions of the same app. If a customer is happy with what they have, they may not wish to upgrade. > This > basically means that even a bump from foo-webapp-1.0-r1 to > foo-webapp-1.0-r2 will not unmerge foo-webapp-1.0-r1 ... If you don't have USE=vhosts set, then the eclass will automatically unmerge the older version. If you have USE=vhosts set, then you're telling Portage that you need the flexibility of running webapp-config manually.
