What I belive you're seeing is that there have been new flags added or removed from ebuilds and therefor there is need to rebuild a lot of packages to make everything fall in line. For myself recently I saw a lot of perl packages rebuilt because the 'minimal' USE flag was set as '-' by default instead of not at all (or something like that). alan -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Backups are for people who don't pray." -- big Mike -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
