11 After using Gentoo for close to two years, the only time/place I've ever even
12 seen @preserved-rebuild is in this thread. Yet you say, "Portage will warn you
13 when the set is [it] non-empty, telling you to run emerge @preserved-rebuild."
14
15 How will portage do this? An alias 'ud'
16
17 alias ud='eix-sync && emerge -aDjNuv @world && dispatch-conf && emerge -a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit'
18
19 is run every morning with my first cup of coffee. If something were changed or
20 left off that alias do you suppose this mysterious @preserved-rebuild would be
21 run?

23 Thanks,
