Actually, that's a good reason to use --update on a single package, as it installs a new package, but does not reinstall an existing package, so you can emerge -u a list of packages and only install the new ones. However, you can now do that with -n, which does add to world, so this can also be used as an argument for -u to not touch world. I'm leaning towards the view that I would prefer world to be untouched, but, as I said, there's no compelling argument one way or the other. Maybe you can file a bug report that gets enough votes to persuade Zac to add a configuration option for this, or write the patch yourself. -- Neil Bothwick Do radioactive cats have 18 half-lives?
