step1: emerge -B pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 step2: emerge -K pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 But there problem with this: if pkg2 DEPEND on pkg1, then it either will not compile at all (without installing pkg1 first), or, worse, it will compile using older, currently installed version of pkg1, and after installing at step2 pkg2 become broken (because pkg1 was replaced by newer version without recompiling pkg2). -- WBR, Alex.
