Thanks,
I'll do this tonight. I wonder if this will be an action over weekend, so I did just now:
emerge -upv --newuse world
<snip of potential emerge list>
O.K, that's not so much. What confuses me is the fact, that cdrecord won't be re-emerged.
As far as I know, that's because "plain vanilla" cdrecord does not handle DVDs under any circumstances. The tools you use for DVDs are
1) patched cdrecord (emerge cdrecord-ProDVD)
2) dvd+rw-tools
I *think* that this is an either/or situation rather than a both/and; if you install dvd+rw-tools, you don't actually need cdrecord-ProDVD as well (because growisofs, included in dvd+rw-tools, takes care of burning DVDs). But Linux is about choice, and so you can use the patched cdrecord instead (which replaces cdrecord).
I am not completely sure about this; it is based on my experience of having actually removed cdrecord-ProDVD and having nothing break in my burning experience (due to still having dvd+rw-tools installed, which is what most frontends that can burn DVDs use to burn DVDs, in my experience).
HTH, Holly
