No. My argument is that category/ebuild is much better than =category/ebuild-x*. If and only if there's a problem with the former, you should take the latter into account and monitor the ebuild changes closely. > In practice, I tend to do: > > =category/package-version* ~arch > > so that I pick up -rN bumps on unstable versions as this should mean > that the maintainer considers the change necessary for users of that > version. So you won't get security updates, when this means it is a version bump. And this is most often the case. Unless you _always_ read the ChangeLogs and referenced bugs of all ebuilds you run testing, this is not safe. Carsten
