One thing I see, is now you have a system that is full of pkg that do not update normally. I guess I'm say if you install pakages with --oneshot, they are not automatically updated, or are they? (discussion). 'emerge -uDNv world' is the most common form of update, probably, used by gentoo users. So how to best ferret out those oneshot packages for update; and that's if they should be updated.... semantics on that? James
