Dear all, Still in the process of improving my solver (and make it a usable tool), I need to have a better idea on how installed packages should be managed. I didn't find anything on that topic in the PMS (if I've missed it, I'm sorry). Could you confirm/correct my following understanding: 1. installed packages that are still in the portage tree can be unmerged/updated without any restriction (as specified in their .ebuild) 2. installed packages that are not in the portage tree can only be kept as is or unmerged 3. before removing a library, "ebuild unmerge" always checks if it is used by another package: this means that installed packages' dependencies are never broken.
Many thanks! Michael
