quite often, in my case, but others may have different needs, of course. |

i wd never do 'emerge world' except w the '-p' flag: |
19 |
doesn't it takes many hours ? eg it wd want to update OpenOffice, |
20 |
wh took c 5,5 hr on my fairly fast machine. |
21 |
my practice is 'esync', 'emerge -Dup world', |
22 |
then to emerge individual pkgs wh have jumped enough version points. |
23 |
a lot of problems users report on gentoo-user |
24 |
seem to involve some failure during an 'emerge world'. |
25 |
however, i do realise that others have other preferences. |

at least could we get such a flag added ? '-w' seems to be free. |
