--keep-going will emerge all unaffected packages, meaning you are then working with a much smaller list when you try to fix the problem. At least, that's the approach that normally works for me. --keep-going is intelligent enough to skip any packages that depend on the failed package. That means you often end up with a package list that is a single branch dependency tree, so the order is unlikely to change. -- Neil Bothwick Rainbows are just to look at, not to really understand.
