-<title>Why don't we have USE-based DEPEND atoms yet?</title>
-<body>

-<p>
-USE-based DEPEND atoms, ie DEPEND=”app-foo/bar[baz]” where baz is in IUSE of app-foo/bar are tricky to implement properly. Imagine a package with DEPEND=”app-foo/bar[baz] app-foo/coolpkg” Then in app-foo/coolpkg... DEPEND=”app-foo/bar[-baz]”. Here we have a depgraph with -baz and baz, how do we satisfy the depgraph? Also when automagically flipping flags on ( for instance, an app deps on app-foo/bar[baz] so we set USE=”baz” ) causes other fun depgraph issues and cycles. All of these must be accounted for in the code. Not to mention the depgraph code must process dependencies in a sane timeframe.

-<title>Why is portage so slow? / Why don't you rewrite portage in $RANDOM_LANGUAGE</title>
-<body>
-
-<p>
-Portage's speed (or lack thereof) has very little to do with Python the
-language. The 2.0 codebase is old and was not well designed. The
-developers have been talking of a redesigned codebase that attempts to
-achieve many goals; being faster is one of them. For a current example
-try in a shell:
-</p>
-
-<pre caption="Pre Portage Timing">
-$ <i>time python -c 'import portage'</i>
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-On many systems this can take up to and above 10 seconds, because portage needs
-to scan the tree for virtual providers and initialize all it’s configuration data.
-This is just one place where older coding habits and conventions render the 2.0
-codebase difficult to work with. Zac Medico has patched the 2.1 series in a late
-revision to implement lazy loading of virtuals that should speed up import times.

+<p>
+By default, the dependency graph may not include some packages. For example,
+it will not include any packages that are listed in the output of
+<c>emerge --pretend --depclean</c>. It will also not include any build time
+dependencies for installed packages or binary packages. If you would like to
+include such build time dependencies even though they are not strictly
+required, use <c>--with-bdeps=y</c>. You can set
+<c>EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y"</c> in <path>/etc/make.conf</path> if
+you would like this option to be enabled by default.
+If you would like a specific package to be updated in any case, you can use
+<c>emerge --noreplace <atom></c> to have it added to the world set.
+</p>
+<p>
+After running <c>emerge --deep --with-bdeps=y world</c>, it is a good idea to
+use <c>emerge --pretend --depclean</c> to see if there are any packages that
+it would remove. If that command shows a package that you would like to keep,
+use <c>emerge --noreplace <atom></c> to have it added to the world set.
+</p>
+<warn>When you use <c>emerge --depclean</c> to remove unwanted packages, it is
+a good idea to run <c>revdep-rebuild</c> (from the gentoolkit package)
+afterwards.</warn>
+<note>Run <c>man emerge</c> to view the manual page which documents all

+Why does emerge --depclean sometimes remove system packages?
+</title>
+<body>
+<p>
+For system dependencies that are specified as virtuals, such as
+virtual/editor, it's common to have multiple packages installed that
+are capable of satisfying the dependency. In this case, redundant
+packages may be removed by <c>emerge --depclean</c> unless they are
+explicitly added to the world set. You can use <c>emerge --noreplace
+<atom></c> to have a package added to the world set, and this
+will guarantee that this package will not be removed by
+<c>emerge --depclean</c>.
