It is run when you choose to run it, it never happens automatically (unless there is a flag I don't know about). You could drop "emerge -a @preserved-rebuild" into the alias, between the emerge world and dispatch-conf. There's no harm in running it when it is not needed. % sudo emerge -a @preserved-rebuild emerge: 'preserved-rebuild' is an empty set emerge: no targets left after set expansion -- Neil Bothwick Why is bra singular and pants plural?
