Greetings all; I was intending to upgrade xorg 7.0 to 7.1, before doing so I noticed something. I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, so I wanted to ask before I mess up my system.
First, take a look when I do a pretend to see what would happen when emerging 7.0, which is currently installed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Nov 04 09:34:17 /home/skippi/0data/data/2print skippy $ emerge -pv =xorg-x11-7.0-r1 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Is this the correct behaviour? Or is something going on? Thank you very much.
