Alan just wants to start it and walk away, as if Gentoo was a binary distribution that handles it all upstream. He doesn't want to take the time to review what emerge is proposing and see if changes are needed first. Hey Alan: Gentoo is NOT a start an update and walk away setup. Some human mind needs to be involved if troubles arise. Also, read make.conf(5) and set up the various variables correctly; PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET should only have one python version set. Furthermore, the current portage doesn't require the revdep-rebuild step because of the @preserved-rebuild set creation. In any case, to try and force things through without looking at what problems are occuring is just (excuse my language) batshit crazy stupid. I use my update generator script so make the emerge command(s) just so I can preview the packages and modify the sequences or leave out some updates if i need/want to do so. (E.g. I may want to defer a chromium or libreoffice update to after other updates are done and/or set them to occur with a lower niceness or an ionice idle class.) -- G.Wolfe Woodbury redwo...@gmail.com
