That clashes with my understanding, so I looked it up, and it turns out I was right. From |
| 23 |
emerge(1): |

Note the "remaining dependencies" part. Otherwise, what would be the point of --skipfirst if |

it were so unpredictable? |

Really, sometimes I wonder why I keep seeing people on this list who clearly haven't heard |
| 41 |
of the --keep-going option. It's there for a reason. And don't tell me anybody actually *likes* |
| 42 |
having to manually continue the emerge process, because that's just so, so tedious. |
