My machines are always bang up to date. I don't make use of masked packages unless absolutely necessary. If I have had to unmask a package then I look to re-mask it as soon as the version I need is officially released. You'll have to update eventually, for security or whatever, so you might as well do it every day/week. Problems are easier to spot and roll-back with small incremental updates, compared to traumatic system reloads. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ suppressed _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
