This is great news because it happened a couple times that i emerged a |
9 |
new ebuild that wasn't simply working (tightVNC and Postfix comes to |
10 |
mind) so i had to revert to the previous version manually. Previously i |
11 |
would never schedule an "emerge rsync && emerge world -u" because it |
12 |
would often break existing packages and left my system not working properly. |

This new feature is really great, however it would be great to be able |
15 |
to specify for which packages you want to enable this. You could be |
16 |
using stable packages everywhere except for certain softwares which you |
17 |
want the latest version and don't care for stability (web browsers or |
18 |
games for example). |
