Hi, Gentoo!

Has anybody else seen this?  I did a sync, then emerge -puND world and
got a list of ~100 packages to merge.  About a third of them seem to be
new perl stuff, 13 packages with gnome, and a lot of this and that.

Most worrying is sys-fs/udisks-2.1.0.  Should I be worried about this
(all my other udev-ish stuff is up to date), or will it just work?

But getting such a large update, all at once, seems worrying.  Should I
worry about anything, or just plough ahead with the update?

When that happened to me, it was the result of inadvertatly switching
from a plain profile to a "desktop".  Switching back to a plain
profile eliminated a lot of "bloat" packages for which I had no need.

I think the perl stuff is probably legit.  IIRC, they recently split
up some packages and/or added some virtual packages for things that
had more than one implementation.

You must not be a KDE user. Hundreds of upgraded packages at once is a
monthly routine... :)

I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes if I have a really large list of
packages, I will upgrade @system first and then upgrade @world second,
but there's no real scientific reason to do so, just my own "good
feelings"...

A couple of days at most.  I've never seen such a large update, except
for when I'd just installed Gentoo.

I recently had ‘emerge -avutND’ throw 713 packages at me after not
updating for a couple of weeks. It took me a few days to get it back to
an updated state but I managed.

~100 packages is not unusual if you don't update for a week or so,
especially if something gets an update that other things depend on at
which point it might remerge all those packages as well.

I wouldn't worry.
