I am aware of that and the first comment in the script says that it evolved from the simple script 'emerge -v `qpkg -I -nc -f /lib/modules`' The main audience for this script isn't developers and experienced gentoo administrators. It is intended for use by your average gentoo administrator. What prompted me to write it was seeing people on the gentoo-user mailing list having problems, because they forgot to rebuild packages after recompiling a kernel. Finally, since I have been testing it and looking at the behavior of the various packages during a kernel recompile, I find it to be very useful as it does the work for you of locating and building those packages for you and thus saves you time and effort. For me, one of the purposes of using computers is the ability to automate repetitious or error-prone tasks. This is one of those that I have found and seen to be error-prone and which to me benefits from being automated. Regards, Paul -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
