In general, that is correct. Emerge will install packages starting from |
| 13 |
the one listed last, and work up. |

I always include the -t flag when running emerge. This flag shows the |
| 22 |
dependent ebuilds indented so that you can see much more clearly which |
| 23 |
packages depend on other packages. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
As an example: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
root@cshelton cshelton # emerge -avDtu world |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Calculating world dependencies ...done! |

In this case, there is an updated version of perl-core/File-Spec available |
| 41 |
that is needed by dev-perl/Inline, which in turn is needed by |
| 42 |
net-mail/grepmail. |
