Indeed... magical hand-wavey part is the only teeny-tiny flaw with my |
| 10 |
proposal that the problem be magically, hand-wavically solved -- |
| 11 |
otherwise, it's rock-solid :) |

OTOH when you're spending ten hours a week waiting for revdep-rebuild, |
| 14 |
preserved-rebuild stops seeming like an intractable fantasy and more |
| 15 |
like an interesting puzzle you'd might as well take a crack at |
| 16 |
solving. |

I dunno about y'all but my not-really-that-computationally-powerful |
| 19 |
workstation has 2000 packages installed, about three-quarters of which |
| 20 |
seem to have forked webkit (just kidding, but it sure feels that way). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
emerge -e @world literally takes me two days if I'm lucky. If I'm |
| 23 |
not, more like a week, with my cores left mostly idling while my |
| 24 |
productivity is thwarted by various non-webkit-compiling distractions |
| 25 |
like using the toilet or working. |
| 26 |

Point being, it's damn slow; I'm starting to feel like the guy waiting |
| 28 |
for revdep-rebuild all week. There's gotta be a way to do it. If it |
| 29 |
requires some encapsulation-breaking hacks to get it done (as |
| 30 |
preserved-rebuild kinda did) it's probably well worth it. |
