The last expat update was an example of something that annoys me about

trouble. I only tend to forget to restart services, but even for this
there is an automatic solution now (see the recent Rolling upgrades

Until it's done I suggest two ways of handling it:
1. Check if any update seems to be bigger (like expat from 1.9 to 2.1)
2. Make it your general rule to wait two days between

This program certainly does look nice, I wonder how it will play with

Given Ubuntu's fairly large dependency on gnome, I'm betting that this
program has the usual gnome dependencies. Since I use Xfce, I will
likely not use it because of that.

hi,
I'm working to get a stable portage overlay to keep ebuild and files

But even if I keep the ebuild and all the files needed, the command

How can I know (localize) this kind of dependencies ?

I've done this sort of thing before, but never with one interface
running dhcp. You definitely want to emerge iproute2 (which gives you
the ip command), and add your interfaces to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables, for
example (though in this case, 10 eth0 won't actually get used):
10 eth0
