The more frequently you update, the fewer packages will need to be |
| 12 |
emerged on each update. Although frequent updates may mean more work |

overall, they break it into small chunks that are easy to manage, and can |
| 14 |
also avoid the long lists of warning messages like you have been seeing. |
