Submit it as a feature > request, I'll give you a "me too!" vote That would be a neat idea. But I don't think that's what the OP described. Packages shown with R implies it is being re-compiled. yellow or % USE flags are new ones. If you have already installed the package once, the USE flags cannot be new ;) I would think that if IUSE changed in an ebuild, that would warrant a version bump, but I don't know the dev's policy on that. Most likely those packages are being re-merged because of a changed USE flag on your configuration: does it have something green or followed by *? That means a USE flag that changed since the last install. HTH, W -- "Fortunately, this is where we stop, for the equations of motion are 2nd order.
