Over the years, I've ended up with this command and options set that |
| 12 |
seem to work pretty well for most everything. This is in make.conf: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y --backtrack=100 --keep-going -v -j5 |
| 15 |
--quiet-build=n -1 --unordered-display" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
After I run eix-sync, I then run emerge -uaDN world and give the updates |
| 18 |
a looking over, to make sure the USE flags are like I want etc etc. I |
| 19 |
started out with fewer options but as issues popped up or options were |
| 20 |
added that made things work better, they were added. Some are done in |
| 21 |
make.conf to make sure they are the default for every command, unless I |
| 22 |
override it on the command line. So far, it has resulted in a fairly |
| 23 |
stable system even if I have some arch packages installed, KDE for |
| 24 |
example. |

As usual, you may need something different but that has worked for me |
| 27 |
and could be a starting point at least. |

Hope that helps. |

P. S. On the rare occasion I want to add something to the world file, I |
| 36 |
either do it directly or use --select y to override the -1 in |
| 37 |
make.conf. That helps keep the world file from getting cluttered up to |
| 38 |
no end with things that shouldn't be there. |
