Hello, Looking at what I'm about to pick up via emerge, I notice this
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1 [2.6.1] This immediately sets off alarm bells for me, since glibc is the basis of the whole system. If I pick this up do I have to rebuild everything? I've also frozen my kernel at 2.6.25 for now due to the nvidia-drivers package. I have to use an older one for 3D accel and it doesn't work with the newer kernels according to a bug report I saw. At some point I'm assuming that a new glibc will require a new kernel too, if the interface changes, so presumably I'll have to update eventually. I could just use the nv driver since the 3D accel is not a must-have, or pick up a new video card. Currently VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in my make.conf just automatically pulls in nvidia-drivers though, which is broken for me. But I digress. Upgrade glibc, rebuild everything? I suppose revdep-rebuild will figure that out anyway... Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <msoul...@digitaltorque.ca> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
