Hello to Everyone in Gentooland, |
2 |
|

Yes, you've seen the osnews reports and the slashdot site mentions, and |
4 |
probably know someone who knows someone who's running Gentoo Linux |
5 |
1.4_rc1. The most common question of the day is: how do I upgrade Gentoo |
6 |
1.2 to 1.4? |
7 |
|
8 |
The clearer question is actually, how to upgrade from a non-gcc-3.2 system |
9 |
(note, still a gcc system :P), to a gcc-3.2 system. Well, the problem is |
10 |
the ABI compatibility that gcc-3.2 has with all the lesser versions. |
11 |
|
12 |
To this end, we now have some clear documentation (thanks to the excellent |
13 |
work of ZheN and our new documentation team) found here: |
14 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/upgrade-to-gentoo-1.4.html |
15 |
|
16 |
Please note that these guide you through the upgrade process, which is |
17 |
made very very simple and convenient (thanks to carpaski's excellent work) |
18 |
upgrade scripts. The documentation will explain all. |
