I'm sure r3 is enough. When you say "emerge -u package", you're saying, |
| 10 |
"Upgrade this package *and* anything it depends on that has a newer |
| 11 |
version available." This will upgrade all dependencies, if they have |
| 12 |
upgrades in portage, even if they don't *need* to be upgraded. The |
| 13 |
normal "emerge package" will upgrade if it has a newer version, and |
| 14 |
dependencies will only be upgraded if the package *requires* a higher |
| 15 |
version of one of them. |

Does that help get your emerges done any more quickly? ;) |
