Portage should throw a blocker in that case if boost needs to be rebuilt. You |
| 12 |
have one package that requires keywording, but you don't have a keyword. I'm |
| 13 |
not sure offhand what portage will do if you run 'emerge -uND world' and |
| 14 |
boost does not require rebuilding, but I *think* it will simply leave it |
| 15 |
alone. OTOH, I don't have an easy way to create scenario to test this right |
| 16 |
now. |
