If I emerge something and want to keep around, I use the --select y option which overrides the -1 option in make.conf. Sometimes I install something, play with it and don't like it and then let --depclean remove it. If I emerge something and like it, I can use --select y -n to add it to world, without compiling it again. The key thing, remembering to force it to be added to world, which is a lot easier than remembering to use -1 for ALL those things I don't want in the world file. Before I added the -1 option, my world file was full of all sorts of things that have no business being there at all. It was causing huge problems with upgrades and such. I just use what works for me. Some may not like doing it this way but some might. Dale :-) :-)
