Running "emerge -p ..." followed by "emerge ..." without "-p" would run the dependency analysis twice for EVERY package update. Using a single "emerge -a" call will run the dependency analysis only once for almost each package update. The option to say "N" and further inspect the "em- erge" output using an editor is meant as sort of a safety belt which is not intended to be used on a daily basis. > I haven't dug into the man page, but I'm sure there are also options > that are more intended to make the output more suitable for > parsing/etc. A quick search in the "emerge" manual page for "pars" and "pip" did not turn up anything I considered relevant. Can anyone give more hints? Sincerely, Rainer
