I was responding to your "If it is a package that needs > to be in world, then that option shouldn't be used either otherwise a > --depclean would remove it." which is not true if the package is already > in world. > I was making the point tho that if it is a new emerge and needs to be in world, then the -1 option would not add it. If a person them runs --depclean, it would them remove the package and its dependencies. I know for me at least, I rarely re-emerge the same package twice by hand. If I change the USE flags, I let -n catch that. If it is a update, I let -u catch that. Dale :-) :-)
