Im sorry but the previous post already answered the question by quoting the documentation. An emerge that fails does *not* get merged into your file-system and building binary packages also skips the merge step. (So how would it break your server if the package never gets merged into your file system?) man emerge -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
