Oh damn! But yes, a build host and adding --usepkg=3Dy to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in make.conf gives a massive speed increase. Run the build host in an easily recovered environment, like a VM, and you don't even have to monitor the world update on it, just run a script in the early hours that does emerge --sync && emerge -uXX @world and check your mailbox for errors before running emerge on the "clients". The use clusterssh or dsh to update them all at once. --=20 Neil Bothwick Q. How many radical feminists does it take to change a light bulb? A. Two - one to change the bulb and one to write a book about the passive role of the socket. --Sig_/jZkhnctr68UcYTfy=eprleL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlJJ5s4ACgkQum4al0N1GQNoUgCbBkJcZZO/8kLmVNilZlbVyYke OZcAn1/n2gqgVnPCNAwjsswzciDfhFGP =w+Eh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/jZkhnctr68UcYTfy=eprleL--
