Of course I was doing that, but from the news item. My problem was that I
wasn't reading straight.
(I think I had a form of covid last month, and it's left a few loose ends -
mostly in my brain!)

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 ?
