Look, this system was installed when I went 64 bit back in 2010... I put a great deal more work than I should into keeping it running.
I use Eclean-dist every time to purge dead packages. I've learned that this is a very important step, often more important than the actual update step... I just went through my use flags and removed about a dozen of them that have since been deprecated... My package.mask and package.use are both very minimal. I run emptytree-world on every significant compiler upgrade. I'm running an emptytree world today because the system has been through a lot of torture over the past week. If there is anything "janky" or hacky in my setup it's for exactly one reason: It was the first solution I found to a real actual problem I was dealing with at the time after up to two weeks of desperately searching. I take great offence to anyone who tells me that it's MY fault. =| -- Please report bounces from this address to a...@numentics.com Powers are not rights.
