Hi, I have a system in which I've never used the buildpkg feature so I have no packages. The machine is completely up to date - i.e. - emerge -DuN @world does nothing new.
I know if I turn on buildpkg and do an emerge -e @world, assuming all the compiling completes without error, emerge will create packages for everything that's install. That however takes lots of time. I was reading about the quickpkg feature which supposedly creates packages from what's already installed, but I'm not sure how to actually run that for a complete system like this. If I put FEATURES="quickpkg" in make.conf and run emerge -e @world, will emerge simply make the packages for anything that's already installed, but not actually compile the packages themselves? Thanks, Mark
