1 | But wouldn't it make sense to have a keyword in addition to 'system' |
2 | and 'world', something that amounted to 'emerge world-minus-system'? |
3 | This would allow easy administration of running all vital packages x86 |
4 | and all non-system packages ~x86, for those of us who don't want to |
5 | destroy the system but just a few packages at a time. =) |

53 | Clearly "-U" needs to get fixed, and I know that carpaski has plans to |
54 | do just that. It's worth noting, though, that one of the great |
55 | strengths of Gentoo Linux is that there is _no_ separation between |
56 | "system" and "ports" as there is in the bsd world; all packages are |
57 | handled on an equal footing. That lack of separation is one of the |
58 | things that makes Gentoo so useful as a metadistribution -- somebody |
59 | who |
60 | needs a custom base profile can easily create one. |
