No, the advantage would be that new ebuilds would not come into the portage |
| 12 |
tree. Only security relevant ebuilds, formerly which fix security holes, |
| 13 |
would come into the tree (kernel, php, mysql, apache, etc. should not be |
| 14 |
stopped from entering the portage tree). |
| 15 |
This has the advantage that there would be less packages to update when the |
| 16 |
system has to be updated. And if there are security relevant updates there |
| 17 |
would not be as much dependency updates as with the normal tree. |
