Sort of strange. One of my machines just showed up wanting to rebuild about 25 packages due to a USE flag change? All the packages were showing -perl and/or -python. Seemed like a strange change at this point in the life of a desktop PC so I added both flags to make.conf and the machine is once again content to update just a couple of packages.
I don't recall seeing any discussion about this.Was there?? Cheers, Mark
