But, if you're only doing it once in awhile, in batched sets, it should be just fine. The reason it takes so long is that it has to do an FTP listing of the remote host, cache that info, and then finally it'll do the merging. I was doing that quite a bit in times past. But, you have to make sure you are using the same use flags on EVERY host. Also, I did have issues where emerge would refuse to use a binary package, and instead would re-build it. I think it was due to using the --newuse functionality, and/or the -u (update) functionality. On 10/13/06, Timothy A. Holmes wrote: > >> On Friday 13 October 2006 15:16, Timothy A.
