I did find one instance where this is not true. At one point when upgrading qt on my system, emerging any kde app failed. I need to recompile kdelibs to be able to compile a kde app I filed a bug report about it, but someone said portage doesn't support automatically making kdelibs recompile after upgrading qt. Would this be a possible feature of portage-ng, re-emerging an app when needed? Tom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
