This alias is run with coffee every morning on 8 Gentoo installs on this LAN: alias ud='eix-sync && emerge -aDjNuv @world && dispatch-conf && emerge -a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit' So I'd venture to say there never will be such a set (must one create it?). However, the wife's PC is getting rescued from JFS atm. Having backed up /home and anything worth saving, booted with SystemRescueCd, and started a fresh install beginning with changing / and /home to XFS; these configs: grep PYTHON /etc/portage/make.conf PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" grep gcc /etc/portage/package.* /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:sys-devel/gcc:4.6 /etc/portage/package.use:sys-devel/gcc cxx nptl -gtk grep udev /etc/portage/package.* /etc/portage/package.mask:>=sys-fs/udev-181 /etc/portage/package.use:sys-fs/udev rule_generator necessitated "emerge -aejv @world" from what came with the present tarballs. So as soon as that's done perhaps "emerge -a @preserved-rebuild" will show such a set? -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ supp...@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
