If you adjust KDE_PACKAGES to update just one package (say, for a given patch), autoclean will wipe out the old stuff... and even if you don't adjust anything, you still end up recompiling things that don't need recompiling. It's still better than recompiling _everything_ for those of us who don't use but maybe 15% of the KDE desktop suite; however, if we can't make this better, I'm not sure it's worth implementing. Caching the configuration info (somehow) seems like a necessity to me. Cheers, Dylan Carlson [absinthe@pobox.com] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
