1 Hello,
2
3 I would like to know if it would be possible to have emerge --update
4 only do updates that are important. I mean that I don't always feel like
5 recompiling large packages for minor changes (little configuration tuning,
6 spelling mistake in scripts, ...) while I would want to recompile those
7 packages for serious improvment and/or bug fixes.
8
9 Maybe one could classify the portage release with a sub number that would
10 indicate minor changes or at least non-critical changes. Then after,
11 a correctly modified emerge could be asked to skip such updates.
