I recompiled glibc, to be on the safe side, and KDE because it did have problems (and I wanted to see if the kdehiddenvisibility flag made any difference) but nothing else caused a problem. Running a testing system, most packages would be recompiled within a month anyway. > Because of the problems I had, I would *NEVER* encourage people > to *NOT* recompile everything. I prefer to let them make up their own minds about this. I'm not saying people shouldn't recompile everything, just that it may not be necessary. If you have problems, emerge -e world may be quicker than trying to track down the troublesome packages. Me, I prefer to find and solve problems than do the Gentoo equivalent of a reinstall. -- Neil Bothwick "Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule."
