webapp-config and gcc upgrade procedure problem [BUG]

Hi all. I'm part-way through upgrading my hosts with the new GCC 3.4.4. However, after going through the process - successfully - on the first of my webhosts, I noticed that I had to manually re-install with webapp-config every webapp I had installed.

I checked /etc/vhosts/webapp-config to see if there is a setting to prevent this behavior, but found none. How can I prevent "emerge -e world" from removing my installed webapps?

Apologies in advance if this is answered elsewhere in the Forums, but I did search...

Thanks!

It's in the instructions to upgrading to GCC 3.4 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml

Found out in #gentoo-apache that this is actually expected behavior with the "vhosts" USE flag set, but the nice dev I chatted with filed a bug to begin coding a fix for the next version of webapp-config.

I performed these steps to remedy it for my setup. Do these steps *directly* after you re-emerged a webapp, and for each webapp and vhost you have installed previously.

Thanks for the pointers.

The obliteration seems to happen whenever you re-emerge the same version, and there's a good chance that local patches get lost when you re-install... Very irritating at the least, and a good reason for not using webapp-config in those situations if possible.
