Running "emerge -p ..." followed by "emerge ..." without "-p" would run |
| 10 |
the dependency analysis twice for EVERY package update. Using a single |
| 11 |
"emerge -a" call will run the dependency analysis only once for almost |
| 12 |
each package update. The option to say "N" and further inspect the "em- |
| 13 |
erge" output using an editor is meant as sort of a safety belt which is |
| 14 |
not intended to be used on a daily basis. |

A quick search in the "emerge" manual page for "pars" and "pip" did not |
| 21 |
turn up anything I considered relevant. Can anyone give more hints? |
