Postage is the default for the virtual and it depends on python, so there is no need for python itself to be in @system. This doesn't cause any problems except the one Dale mentions, which is that FEATURES=3Dbuildsyspkg does not build a package for python. man make.conf describes this option as "Build binary packages for just packages in the system set. Which is accurate but maybe not the desired behaviour. The option should really by to build packages for packages in @system and their dependencies. Put another way, build all the packages necessary to run "emerge -eK @system".=20 I'd suggest filing an enhancement request on b.g.o. --=20 Neil Bothwick But I thought YOU did the backups... --Sig_/6Mj5Xr1neN_qbQdSv+QLhgE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoZE0QACgkQum4al0N1GQMgWACeNvfe3zocpupxMRip2MOQMJC5 2WYAnjgyDzTmsnUB3oFNmNwygWPmVaj7 =Vs6O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/6Mj5Xr1neN_qbQdSv+QLhgE--
