Ummm, D, as opposed to U... Yeah, that catches my eye.

Yes, honestly, I DO look at it - I wouldn't be much of a system administrator if I didn't. I *always* *always* run emerge -uDpv world when I do an update world - and not only that - but I *always* *always* run emerge -av packagename/world - I never ever blindly run an emerge - even if it is the same one I just ran a -p on. I dunno, guess I am just careful like that. Obviously, not everyone wants to be vigilant - but if you aren't - then you don't get to whine about it when it breaks..... well actually I guess you do... > > Why can't emerge shout out some more verbose text ?

Documentation isn't exactly written because the doc writers were bored. It was written so things aren't constantly repeated as have been over and over and over...infinity. Seriously, stop trying to be lazy and be a responsible system admin. > cu No, cu! Steev -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
