I always run 'r-r --pretend', make a list of what it wants to do, |
| 10 |
then emerge them individually in some hopefully sensible order; |

'r-r' is not fully accurate or efficient: eg this time with Libpng 1.4.3 |
| 12 |
it wanted to rebuild Xulrunner & Openoffice, neither of which was needed. |
