I don't know, but for this type of scenario you are better off building |
| 14 |
binary packages of everything that need to be updated without actually |
| 15 |
installing any of it on the machine. At the end, when all binaries have |
| 16 |
been created by portage, you can install them in one go at a convenient |
| 17 |
point. |

Look up the "--buildpkgonly" option of emerge for this. |
