I just hope there his a gentoo wiki page on GIT that minimizes the what we need to read and some clear examples on how to do things and why. I know it's evolving. > Of course, ncurses being such an important package just made this a huge mess. Yep it first hit me a few days ago with libcaca and the LXQT install. All is fine now for me. PS. I use man pages as references. They rarely "connect the dots" like your previously referred to presentation. That would be keen to link off of a gentoo wiki page; or get one of the more knowledgable gentoo devs to provide something handy and simple. Lord knows, we gonna be revisiting GIT issues for a while..... thx, James
