After my weekly webrsync this morning, emerge -p showed me a whale of an upgrade, including rebuilding both pythons, llvm and firefox, on top of the legitimate and long overdue texlive update. It would have taken half a day even on a reasonably capable desktop.
Inspecting the -p output I blame libffi, and indeed using the package.mask file to block its new version I got a more manageable upgrade. My question is, how come a -rc0 version got unkeyworded? Does this normally happen or was it a mistake? -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
