Is there a simple way of stopping this?
Unless I'm mistaken, this is happening because of the -N flag to
emerge. Since the ABI changes/additions add *new USE flags* for
packages, when you tell emerge to rebuild packages on finding new/added
USE flags, it wants to rebuild them.
I usually stick with -U (--changed-use) instead, when emerging world.
This only rebuilds packages when the flags *change*. Give that a go.
Ahh, I see now what's going on. The problem is that if I do a "-uD"
now, and get just the updates, it just "kicks the 290 further down the
road" until I next do an "-NuD", which if memory serves has always been
the recommended way of updating - according to the gentoo wiki/doco. I
might as well get it over and done with now...
Yes, just tested. "-uD" -> just updates. "-NuD" -> updates + 290 odd
rebuilds.
It's 02:30 Saturday morning in Perth Australia So I'll just kill it for
now and kick it off tomorrow sometime.
Thanks for the reply Matt,
Andrew
