No disagreement on that, but frankly it doesn't matter to me. It
works. Takes about 1 minute to rebuild these files. I don't care (as a
user type) why I have to do it. I do it and my machine works. It
covers kernel and xorg updates. That's OK with me.
Or maybe you're just pointing this out to the OP?
I suspect I might have failed with the same problem as the OP myself
this morning had I used not it. There was an xorg-driver update that
didn't update all the input devices in my make.conf file. (evdev
specifically) This command did. Maybe I didn't need to rebuild evdev
after an sorg-driver update but I suspect you'd agree it's safer if I
do.
Sometimes the tools take care of things that are just oversights.
Matters not that I shouldn't have to do it. Matters more that the
machine works.
Cheers,
Mark
