[gentoo-user] expat... once again

[Alex Schuster]

Hi there!

Yes, there are still gentoo machines out there running libexpat-1, and I 
am upgrading one now. I survived several of those upgrades yet, but those 
were PCs I had better access to, and where a huge revdep-rebuild was no 
big problem. 

But this machine here is slow, and I do not have powerful distcc hosts for 
it. And it is powered off in the night. But it should come up back and be 
able to be used.

Couldn't I just save /usr/lib/libexpat.* before upgrading libexpat, start 
revdep-rebuild, and put the old libraries back, so all applications stil 
have their libraries until revdep-rebuild has finished?.
