I've done the gcc switching, and now I'm updating my system. The recommended steps are: # emerge -eav system # emerge -eav world While emerging my system I received a message suggesting I run revdep-rebuild: warning - be sure to run revdep-rebuild now My question is, should I run revdep-rebuild right after emerging the system, or should I wait until after I emerge world? My concern was that in between, my system is in an unstable intermediate state, and it might be damaged by a revdep-rebuild in between. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
