How is esearch supposed to stay in sync? I've realized that mine is constantly out of sync and I have to manually run eupdatedb if I want to receive accurate answers. I can set up a cron job to run it after syncing emerge, of course, but I'd first like to know if there's another mechanism tha

[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade

There are a number of packages that are apparently in the main tree which will not compile with gcc 3.3 (openal and atlantikdesigner are two that prevent me from completing an "update world"). The bugs for these are closed because they work with the new version and, evidently, that's good enoug
