Usually, during emerge -e world all packages are recompiled including binary packages which require no compilation. However, it would be nice if all binary packages were omitted from emerge -e world so only those from source are included. That way, time and resources are saved and only those packages affected by new compiler or compiler settings are recompiled. How about it? With regards -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
