Hi!

Because I've got way too much time at my hands *G*, I'd like to rebuild
my entire system - IOW: I want to recompile all the packages that are 
currently installed.

How do I do that?

If I check how many packages are currently installed by running

        ls -1d /var/db/pkg/*/* | wc -l

I see that there are 1192. But if I count the number of ebuilds 
returned by

        emerge -Dep world

I get only 292. So "emerge -De world" would NOT re-compile everything
that's on my system.

How can I recompile everything that's currently installed and avoid
cluttering my "world" file with unneeded entries?

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar
