I haven't seen any gurus recommend doing a emerge -e world in a while. |
| 15 |
I think that is for major changes in gcc. The upgrade you have just |
| 16 |
done seems to be a minor one. |

Me, if I was concerned about it at all, I would just do a emerge -e |
| 19 |
system. That way you know at least the packages needed for booting is |
| 20 |
rebuilt. If I have doubt, that is what I do and it doesn't take to |
| 21 |
long. If you have problems with your GUI or have problems with |
| 22 |
programs, then you can do a emerge -e world then. |

Also, if you are going to do this, there is a script that does it better |
| 25 |
than portage. It emerges things in a different order so that it only |
| 26 |
has to be done once instead of twice. I can find you a link to it if |
| 27 |
you are interested. I used it a month or so ago and it worked fine. |

It's been around for years. |
