A few times a year. To put this in perspective, I try to do major updates (-uDN world) once a month. I used to do this weekly but can't now due to time constraints. I find once a month is not too long - still updateable without headaches caused by waiting half a year or more... > * do you really have a problem with running > revdep-rebuild/haskell-updater/perl-cleaner etc after every emerge?

(as in: do you still use revdep-rebuild?) I still use RR after a major update as it occasionally picks up something that @preserved-rebuild misses. Last time it happened was a month ago, but I can't recall the package, it was something to do with multimedia, like libass or similar (on one of my mythtv frontends.) Dan
