A couple of days ago my usual emerge -aDvu world came up with a monster list of blocked packages -- the switchover to modular x11 is apparently now obligatory. Or is it something I did to make it spill over?
In any event, the web page on the topic says it's best to shut down X during this (unlike prior x11 upgrades). I'd like to choose the time to take my system down -- I rely on it. My recent KDE rebuild took a bit over 36 hours not counting a failure in the middle that required manual reordering of emerges. I suppose this one will be similar. So: is there something simple I can do to make portage ignore this update but allow unrelated ones to go through? Then I'll probably do the upgrade when I'm done teaching summer school. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
