The first depclean is redundant, you haven't updated anything so it won't show anything useful. I only run depclean and revdep-rebuild weekly,I don't see a need to routinely do it more often, especially on slower systems. I do run eix-update and eix-update-remote after my daily sync.I run eix-test-obsolete from the weekly cron script. Frequent cleaning of packages is not a good idea IMO, I like to keep the old veraions around for at least a few days, in case something unpleasant shows up and I want to roll back. I also have portage mail elog messages to me, so I don't bother with elogv. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
