I am not clear how exactly it works, but is there a reason why the files are named #Q-YEAR? Since portage applies the updates in alphabetic order and since interrupting portage at inappropriate time makes it try and perform the updates in all files, doesn't it make more sense to name the files so that they sort in time ascending order? Instead of 3Q-2003 make it 2003-3Q. -- \ Georgi Georgiev \ Horse sense is the thing a horse has which \ / chutz@gg3.net / keeps it from betting on people. -- W.
