MAL -- Yes the security update issue is important for me as well.
There was a thread somewhere from australia (I believe) where a guy is installing gentoo for a large customer with lots of servers. The ability to update security without breaking a gentoo system is a real problem that I hope gets solved in portage/ng. Even revdep-build fails when the packages that you need have been 'cleaned' from your system and are no longer on the rsync servers. -rdg --- MAL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Fabien Fivaz wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I installed Gentoo from a GRP CD and do not want emerge > to update gnome, > > KDE, especially, I don't want them to be compiled > (until I really want > > to use my laptop for sunday afternoon barbecue!)
