In my case, my cron runs "eix-sync" every night at 00h and I just did an "time emerge -DNuvp world" here, getting: Total: 129 packages (103 upgrades, 18 new, 8 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 187,761 kB real 0m21.074s user 0m18.913s sys 0m0.724s So I assume once a day (let's say, every night) is a good choice for syncing, right? :-) Never ever had a problem with slow dependency calculation on emerge. -- Ricardo Saffi Marques http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/~saffi/ ====================================================== Laboratory of System Administration and Security - LAS Institute of Computing - IC P.O.
