Yes. |

22 |
unmerge vte and re-run the original emerge, prevents accidental |
23 |
clutter of world and saves time |
24 |
|
25 |
or better: |
26 |
|
27 |
unmask portage and install 2.2_some_huge_number_alpha, |
28 |
ignore what your instincts tell you about rc and alpha - a project |
29 |
that hit 100 -rc versions and is now on 41 alphas is probably abusing |
30 |
the terms :-) |
31 |
|
32 |
Recent portage just knows how to deal with these blockers and just |
33 |
does what it needs to do to make it work. |
