Yes. I look at the entire output of emerge -pv *EVERY* single time. Not doing so would be insane and I would get what I deserve... a broken system. > > Why can't emerge shout out some more verbose text ?

It's color coded in a column along the left hand side of the screen in a nice format that is easily parse-able and grep-able. You don't even have to scan left to right when reading it! It's obvious to me that you haven't been a long time Gentoo user. All of the issues you have brought up in the several different threads are all mistakes that n00bs make when changing their Linux Admin paradigm to the Gentoo Way(tm). We see a thousand questions a year just like yours in the forums from new Gentoo users. Every single one of those users comes back in a few months and recants once they get a good understanding of what they are doing and how powerful Gentoo actually is. Once you use it for a while you will find that the current system (USE, SLOTs, etc...) is *extremely* powerful and flexible from just about any POV. No binary distro can beat it. - --Curtis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRNguEUb8Q0uRCeTQAQFmyAgAqUxtDU2HP0UPunU9yvvxL4ab3LqYsOF5 zHqn8gqZyU0zMoY57JkwulyjQfRVMg9VuZ/D9+Rel6eqsJ1GXVRbyyOx9mK80hnP mYbT7q1kuH3pwSXzmmNn8MN5gKvTVJUVSfmdYn/ZhiXmnMTQOjCoLfoGSS4vfdpK R82WQWJ/ozw4um6kVyci1M3JVdQSmaPxFDgUrU6Y9+LzbnzBcalW8ns1oVIRL6Za 0XGfZcDRtVIlGzUKcimhRxzucaGu3Ua8ySIC2R+y0WnSBUAUI6qiVQ0A5TUYiynZ PFB9Zhwr6LDk4Itkxh1UfL70igLWv61GQxpML+Bysx3eMo2EY9JYlQ== =5OM1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
