I think Alan meant to say -n (--noreplace) instead of -1 (--oneshot). -n does exactly what he describes: it will not actually build packages that are already installed, but will add the explicitly specified packages to world. -1, as you said, does the opposite: it *will* recompile and reinstall the package, but won't update world. --K
