Following on from Chris's question, right now if I do an emerge -Dp world I get a pretty radical looking list of things that are going to happen:
Wizard usr # emerge -Dp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] sys-apps/reiserfsprogs-3.6.8 [3.6.4-r1] [ebuild U ] app-cdr/xcdroast-0.98_alpha10-r3 [0.98_alpha10-r2] [ebuild U ] sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r2 [3.2.9-r1] [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.48 [2.0.47-r10] *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, recalculate dependancies, and complete the merge. You may avoid the remerging of packages by updating portage on its own.

This looks like a long process. I'm in no rush. I could start it late this evening and let it run overnight. What have people been doing about this?
