That would only happen if you blindly ran emerge --update world with --ask or --pretend. If you checked first, you would see the update and be able to read the Changelog before deciding whether to mask that one update. Running emerge --update automatically is potentially dangerous, as is ignoring security updates. Combining the two is not something I'd be prepared to risk. There wouldn't be a big download anyway, not for a patch level upgrade, unless you had cleared $DISTDIR. -- Neil Bothwick Bug: (n.) any program feature not yet described to the marketing department.
