I am doing the following: |
2 |
|
3 |
1. qpkg -I -nc |xargs emerge -u |
4 |
|
5 |
2. revdep-rebuild |
6 |
|
7 |
I am wondering if this is sufficient? Basically as far as I understand |
8 |
it, 1. will check for updates on all packages installed, and 2. will |
9 |
check if anything needs recompiling because a shared library has been |
10 |
updated. |
11 |
|
12 |
Anything else I need to do to make sure my system is up2date? Maybe I |
13 |
missed something in the replies, but as far as I understood it |
14 |
(admitting that English isn't my 1st or 2nd language) there was no real |
15 |
solution posted yet? |
16 |
|
17 |
Should I still do an emerge -u --deep world (+ --newuse if I change the |
18 |
use variable?) |
19 |
