I recompiled glibc, to be on the safe side, and KDE because it did have problems (and I wanted to see if the kdehiddenvisibility flag made any difference) but nothing else caused a problem. Running a testing system, most packages would be recompiled within a month anyway. > Because of the problems I had, I would *NEVER* encourage people > to *NOT* recompile everything. I prefer to let them make up their own minds about this. I'm not saying people shouldn't recompile everything, just that it may not be necessary. If you have problems, emerge -e world may be quicker than trying to track down the troublesome packages. Me, I prefer to find and solve problems than do the Gentoo equivalent of a reinstall. --=20 Neil Bothwick "Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule." --Sig_Nk2+ogupe5osqV8qhOtz_Nm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEvkAPum4al0N1GQMRAs1DAJ9nEUK5kxJnLIYAMDvqC56hMxYExwCgiKDo D55L/PoAJLuJGhkbEOEJnfQ= =QdXL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_Nk2+ogupe5osqV8qhOtz_Nm-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
