I had a few that wouldn't compile, not because of the script though, but |
31 |
I just skipped those and fixed them later on. I didn't have any more |
32 |
trouble than I did when I did a emerge world without the script before |
33 |
though. I'm not sure I ever made it through a emerge world without |
34 |
something failing. I have a lot of packages so something has to go |
35 |
wrong somewhere. |
