Don't know. [Apologies if this amounts to hijacking the thread...] The other day portage wanted to upgrade quite a number of packages: some from source and some from Gentoo binpkgs. Rather than laboriously picking out just the binpkgs by hand, I told portage to upgrade -K. It wanted to update 246 packages! It seems that, if a more recent package exists, it will be remerged willy- nilly, whether it's a real upgrade or not. I hope portage isn't meant to work this way... -- Regards, Peter.
