Speaking as a user who upgraded from 3.3.x to 3.4.x a loooooong loooong |
| 2 |
time ago and also as a forum mod who sees questins about this on a daily |
| 3 |
basis: |

Users are more or less aware that they will have to rebuild the entire |
| 6 |
world including the kernel when they upgrade gcc. If they aren't already |
| 7 |
aware of it they soon learn that it is necessary and they aren't averse |
| 8 |
to it. This is a from source distro afterall, so TELLING them in an |
| 9 |
upgrade guide that they *HAVE* to do this wouldn't be such a bad thing. |
| 10 |
It solves 99% of all the problems reported in a gcc upgrade for people |
| 11 |
who *didn't* do an "emerge -e world". |

Doing it from the outset will save the forums and bugs a lot of stress |
| 14 |
and heartache that could have been easily avoided. |
