I realize just now that one of my machines uses
emerge ... --newuse ...
and the other uses
emerge ... --changed-use ...
Both run gentoo stable.
I imagine this discrepancy has been there for a long while and to date
has caused no particular difficulty. However, today the --changed-use
machine can't --depclean and running
emerge --pretend --newuse ... @world
shows 15 rebuilds while --changed-use shows none.
It looks like all the rebuilds are caused by "negative" uses,
especially PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_6%"
My first thought was to run an
emerge --newuse ... @world
and then proceed with --depclean'ing
but am cautious about changing settings involving python (I have no
personal python scripts).
eselect python show
indicates python3.4, which I realize has end of life next year.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
allan
