You are just brave and dumb. Take a look at how many people explained or attempted to explain why running upgrades as cron jobs is a dumb thing do to, and you simply neglected them. To make things worse, you stated: "I prefer rather breaking some dependencies in my system, over leaving some security hole in it". Which is plain bs. > I asked the question seriously.

It means I could not have old portage version) As well as brave and dumb, you are also ignorant. There are versions, and it is clearly mentioned in the documentations. It's always up-to-date doesn't mean there are no versions. There are no *releases*, but there are versions. Back to the arrogance bit, people give you advices or suggestions, in the hope that you could maintain your system better, you are perfectly entitled to stick to your no-so-bright way, but you can't stop us thinking that defending those *wrong* ways are somewhat arrogant. Again, good luck with your server maintenance. -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
