Interesting... Here, I'm running a still-masked gcc-4.0.1, with |
| 9 |
dependencies on a binutils that was at least still masked when I unmasked |
| 10 |
and merged it. Additionally, as part of the gcc4 thing, I'm running a |
| 11 |
still-masked glibc snapshot that has gcc4 fixes. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So... one could say I'm at the opposite extreme as you... you stay stable |
| 14 |
amd64 for glibc and etc, I use package.unmask to get stuff that's not even |
| 15 |
in ~amd64 yet! =8^) |

Of course, part of that probably has to do with something else you |
| 18 |
mention, that whole apache-php-subversion thing. That implies the purpose |
| 19 |
of your installation is server related, and servers traditionally run more |
| 20 |
conservative settings, DEFINITELY so if they are publicly accessible or |
| 21 |
mission critical. |

I'm lucky enough to have a dual Opteron as my private desktop workstation, |
| 24 |
where computing is my hobby, not my job, so if it breaks and takes a |
| 25 |
couple days for me to figure out what's wrong and get things up and |
| 26 |
running again, no big deal, that's simply part of the challenge that makes |
| 27 |
my hobby enjoyable enough to keep me coming back for more! =8^) |
