I recompiled glibc, to be on the safe side, and KDE because it did have |
| 13 |
problems (and I wanted to see if the kdehiddenvisibility flag made any |
| 14 |
difference) but nothing else caused a problem. |

Running a testing system, most packages would be recompiled within a |
| 17 |
month anyway. |

I prefer to let them make up their own minds about this. I'm not saying |
| 23 |
people shouldn't recompile everything, just that it may not be necessary. |

If you have problems, emerge -e world may be quicker than trying to track |
| 25 |
down the troublesome packages. Me, I prefer to find and solve problems |
| 26 |
than do the Gentoo equivalent of a reinstall. |
