Hi, I've been using this cdb hack for so long I'd forgotten that it was there. If it is backed out is there a standard way to use portage these days that goes reasonably fast and doesn't have these risks. Granted, the risks are quite low, I think, but better not to take risks if not required to. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
