Hi All, |

Portage 1.8.1 has been released, which now includes working "emerge update" |
4 |
functionality. "emerge update" allows you to keep your key Gentoo Linux system |
5 |
packages fully up-to-date. To use it, first type "emerge --pretend update" to |
6 |
see what it will do. Then type "emerge update" to actually perform the |
7 |
updates. |

|
9 |
Emerge update is a great way to keep key packages like e2fsprogs, glibc and |
10 |
others fully up-to-date. It will not cause non-essential packages like |
11 |
GNOME to be automatically upgraded, but I will be adding that functionality |
12 |
soon -- by adding an "emerge everything" (name not finalized yet) mode. |

Best Regards, |
