Hi guys, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just wrote a GLEP, proposing a solution to the problem that updating |
| 4 |
f.ex. openssl, requires recompiling almost world |
| 5 |
(kde,mozilla,galeon,wget,irrsi,python etc.) - and breaks your system if |
| 6 |
you don't complete all this, while you are running (since the old |
| 7 |
openssl files are removed after the openssl upgrade -and programs that |
| 8 |
haven't been recompiled will break). |

You can see it here: |

I hope you like the idea, and the proposed solution. Please comment if |
| 14 |
you have any questions, as I would very much like to see this happen, so |
| 15 |
I can run emerge -u world again :) |
