ok... following this upgrade path from an old prefix should work: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
emerge -avuDe world |
| 13 |
emerge -avuD world |
| 14 |
|

this merges the last hybrid portage (the other one is masked by EAPI, at |
| 18 |
least thats true for me...(??)), and after that uses that portage to |
| 19 |
reinstall/update all packages. after that a normal update will give the |
| 20 |
newest portage. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
if the new portage is not masked by EAPI, that would be a problem. you'd |
| 23 |
need to manually mask it while doing the -avuDe world. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
the only problem is that the -avuDe world should never be stopped, since |
| 26 |
otherwise a recalculation of dependencies will cause the non-hybrid |
| 27 |
portage to be merged, which will (possibly) destroy (some) installed |
| 28 |
packages - or at least prevents upgrades to run through smooth. |

Should we provide some docs somewhere about this? |
