Not recently : it used to happen more often. > * do you really have a problem with running > revdep-rebuild/haskell-updater/perl-cleaner etc after every emerge? No. > * do you think it's worth the effort to add more stuff to the PM, > so that you don't have to run revdep-rebuild that often? No, as I don't need R-R anymore. > * do you trust the other methods like subslots or preserved-rebuild > to work reliably? -- do you still use revdep-rebuild? P-R seems to work adequately. My big gripe is unnecessary dependencies, eg sound for KDE & FF. It's part of the lowest-common-denominator approach which seems to characterise Gnome, Ubuntu & M$ , but Gentoo should avoid. That said, I'm generally very satisfied with Gentoo : it's just over 10 years since I first started using it. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
