I'm sorry but I was asking of a more high-level implications. I presume that this means that more than files of more than one package can be merged simultaneously. However: 1. Are collisions handled correctly then? i.e. if you start installing A, and then B, and the two packages collide will portage fail before starting to install any file from B? 2. Are preinst/postinst phases called simultaneously or serialized? -- Best regards, Michał Górny
