Now I have a Threadripper 1950X as a dedicated build box (builds packages for all my other Gentoo systems). Takes 14 hours to chew through a full recompile of my workstation's packages. I've scheduled weekly updates for everything and they should mostly be done in a few hours.

Circular dependencies are another usual one. You can't actually install a fully functional desktop system with certain features globally enabled in one go. Rarely happens on clean installs (since you tend to enable things progressively), but if you clone configs it does.
You have to disable the feature first, install some package, then enable it and reinstall (which breaks the circular chain). No real way around that (though it could be handled automatically but isn't right now).

ah, good to know.

Anyway, things have massively improved since the old days when I started. It used you be you'd get a libpng soname bump and your entire desktop was broken until you recompiled everything. Nowadays it's automated *and* keeps the old lib around in the meantime.
