Yesterday I started an:
Code:
emerge --update --newuse --deep --emptytree --jobs=3 --load-average=4 @world @system


Now the nvidia-drivers failed and I still got 40 out 600+ packages left to recompile. What would be the best solution to rebuild that 40 packages without recompiling everything (all 600+)?

My idea is to unmerge the affected 40 packages manually (got all necessary logs to figure them out)
Code:
emerge --unmerge --oneshot all40pkgs


and then to do a
Code:
emerge --update --newuse --deep --jobs=3 --load-average=4 @world @system


Does it sound like a sensible solution or is there a better way to do it? Please give a short thumbs-up/down before I have to redo everything again.

btw: the gcc version emerged tonight was the same that was already installed. so there shouldnt be problems from taht direction.

Why don't you use --skipfirst and skip the nvidia package?

Hey, thanks :)

That works well and safed me lots of manual labour. I think I will have to check afterward, because it skipped 3 other packages, too, but tahts fine. 4 is less than 40.

EDIT:

It might be interesting to add that "skipfirst" only works well if there are no parallel jobs.
