On RISC-V we are switching from two-level library directories (e.g., |
| 15 |
/usr/lib64/lp64d) to a more traditional directory architecture. |
| 16 |
This is done via the profile upgrade from 17.0 to 20.0 profiles. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
We recommend to re-install from scratch using a 20.0 profile based |
| 19 |
stage. 17.0 profiles will be deprecated immediately and removed |
| 20 |
in 6 months. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you want to upgrade an existing installation, the following |
| 23 |
steps should be taken. Please read all commands carefully first and |
| 24 |
make sure you understand them, since the procedure is risky. The |
| 25 |
commands are given for a lp64d profile; in case of a lp64 profile, |
| 26 |
always replace lp64d with lp64. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# cd /usr/local/lib64 |
| 29 |
# cp -av lp64d/. . |
| 30 |
# rm -rf lp64d |
| 31 |
# ln -s . lp64d |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# cd /usr/lib64 |
| 34 |
# cp -av lp64d/. . |
| 35 |
# rm -rf lp64d |
| 36 |
# ln -s . lp64d |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
# cd /lib64 |
| 39 |
# cp -av lp64d/. . |
| 40 |
# rm -rf lp64d |
| 41 |
# sln . lp64d |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Note that the last command uses "sln" instead of "ln -s". |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Then switch from your 17.0 profile to the corresponding 20.0 profile, |
| 46 |
either by using "eselect profile" or by manually changing the |
| 47 |
/etc/portage/make.profile symlink. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Next, rebuild all packages: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
# emerge -eav world |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
As last step, check if portage has removed any of the symlinks created |
| 54 |
above, and if yes, recreate them. |
