You almost always want emerge -avuND world Which will find every relevant change you made and deal with it. Don't forget emerge -av @preserved-rebuild with recent portage versions revdep-rebuild -p -i followed by revdep-rebuild to find broken stuff and finally emerge -a --depclean to clean out obsolete stuff that's hanging around Don't run these blindly. Eyeball the output, understand what you are looking at. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
