Hello all,

I updated my profile from amd64/17.1/desktop/systemd/merged-usr to
amd64/23.0/desktop/systemd.
I followed the quite clear instructions without any issue.
With emerge --ask --emptytree @world, i had to recompile 1400 packages, so
it took all night long !!!
Some scare when the package 1201 failed and everything stopped (i forgot
the keep-going option).
Nevertheless, I rebooted and everything works fine ! Whew !!!

What i understand is that Gentoo is now mostly based on binary packages.
The sources are now the exception.
It's the opposite of what Gentoo was before... Right ?

Regards,
