<whinge> I tried doing an "emerge -auvND world" today. It's been three days since the previous update, and today portage wants to update 1 package and install _35_new_ones_.
Seriously? 35 new packages that I have to install on Monday that I didn't have to have the previous Friday? A few of them are virtual packages, but the vast majority are actual package that I neither want nor need (other than to satisfy a requirement imposed by a new USE flag that defaults to "on" when it should have defaulted to "off"). I realize that every developer thinks think their pariticular package is the greatest thing ever and should be installed on everything since the TI SR-54 calculator, but this seems a bit silly... </whinge> -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
