I've been dealing with this for a while. When I do my updates, it
either omits seamonkey because the rust version installed is to new or

It still increases at times but then seems to

ange. I don't have notes. May want to
look at the output just in case you are hitting the same thing and it
isn't obvious.
The best thing, post the entire output including the command itself.
If, like me, you have defaults set in make.conf, you may need to post
them too. On occasion, I copy it from emerge.log since it records all
options, from command line as well as make.conf settings.

Note how the kernel and init thingys have the same basic name. I add
-1, -2 etc to kernels if I have to rebuild to add or fix something.
Example, when I had to add the driver for my new network card, it became

So, thanks Jack for the help. The wiki coming up helped to but you got

fast at that. It's starts at 200Mb
but still over a 100 times faster than current connection. It goes all
the way up to 1Gb. God help us all. ROFL

peful that it will
keep being maintained even tho it can be a headache for devs at times.
Thing is, I've read a lot of distros use eudev and avoid the systemd
version as much as possible, even tho eudev still has the same code from
my understanding. Still, I'd rather stick with what works for me.
Maybe we will know pretty soon what the status of this will be.

, I've adjusted options until I got a easy update path.
This works really, really well. I update once a week, usually Sunday

I'm done and can update my backups Sunday night.
Hope that helps. Welcome to Gentoo and the source of good heat, lots of
compiling. lol
