Jeez, I've had things go sideways before, hal comes to mind, but I don't use a script like he does and bring it on myself. Heck, I can remember when the update process was emerge sync and emerge -uvp world.=20 Look at list, then remove the -p part. Then pray there was no build failure from a bug. Then portage, both the emerge command and the tree and all its ebuilds, started improving. Slots came along and a whole ton of other things. Nowadays, eix-sync && emerge -uvaDN world and generally, it's ready to update. Once that is done, a little housekeeping and it's done. Of all the problems I have, it is usually something I overlook that I did or just a general build failure.=20 Sometimes a retry gets it going again.=20 Thing is, emerge has changed over the years. All of us have adapted to those changes and adapted our own systems and process to what works.=20 Some systems may be fine with a backtrack that is the default. Some may need it set to 30, some 100. Thing is, setting it to 0 to disable it or something, that won't likely work to well. Grimes seems to want to disable some of the new features thinking it will make it easier but it's making it harder. Portage/emerge will do the heavy lifting if you let it.=20 Anyway, I'll give it another go or two and after that, he will have to figure it out on his own. I like helping when I can but sometimes, you just have to let them get hungry enough to fish for themselves. lol=20 Dale :) :-)=20
