No, not all 737, but when I update one of my machines that I didn't update= =20 in those 6 months (perhaps except security updates), I'm going to have to=20 remerge the majority of them. There might be quite some trivial updates=20 in those, but I wouldn't be able to find out before I update. Paul ps. Even if it were 50 updates (which happens often enough for me), it=20 would be too much to search info for all of them. =2D-=20 Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: pauldv@gentoo.org Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net --nextPart26962801.XnvK5OAUGT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDbyt4bKx5DBjWFdsRAnloAKCBky397eaWi/Tw+2wdCCrz1mnIcQCgybUg 7grAfz82pYz12EJ9C9PjOjE= =IJUR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart26962801.XnvK5OAUGT-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
