I have to add this. From what I understand about the scripts he is |
| 11 |
using, he is blindly letting emerge do updates without checking to see |
| 12 |
if the updates fall into line with what he *needs*. If I read it |
| 13 |
correctly, any USE flag change will be missed until it hits the fan and |
| 14 |
is broken. That would then mean taking a lot of time to go back through |
| 15 |
logs and figuring out just when it went wrong and most importantly, what |
| 16 |
caused it and how to fix it. Since the change could have happened |
| 17 |
several updates ago, that could involve some work and a lot of rebuilding. |

Doing the sync in a script and even getting a email or something with |
| 20 |
the -p output is fine but updating blindly is not a good idea. |

At this point, I think I understand why he is having so much trouble. |
| 23 |
At the very least, check to see what USE flags are changing before doing |
| 24 |
updates. There are other things that are important but that is one that |
| 25 |
changes a good bit. |
