However after it is installed, many things need to be recompiled as you are aware. Portage needs reverse dependancy support for this to become a reality having people run 'revdep-rebuild' is not the solution (and even that fails in some cases already). I do know that more things than MySQL4 are waiting for reverse-dependancies. OpenSSL 0.9.7 is one of them (it requires a MUCH larger rebuild than MySQL does). Carpaski would a better person to ask of the current status of reverse-dependancies in portage than myself. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
