Subject: [gentoo-user] converting from testing to stable SLOWLY

1 A few months ago a procedure was given for converting from testing to
2 stable (e.g. ~amd64-->~amd) by essentially waiting for stable to catch
3 up.
4
5 I believe the basic idea was to unmask a bunch of packages and then as
6 stable catches up, remove the unmasks. I also believe there was some
7 automated way to generate the unmasks and maybe a way to see when each
8 is not needed.

10 Can someone repost this msg?
11 I foolishly did not save it and now want to convert a system to stable
12 and can afford to do so slowly.

14 thanks,
