Hi All, |
| 2 |
|

Portage 1.5.2 is now available on CVS/rsync; everyone should upgrade. After |
| 4 |
emerging the new version of Portage, edit /etc/make.globals and make sure that |
| 5 |
it contains the line: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control" |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
*Everyone* should then familiarize themselves with Portage's new config file |
| 10 |
management functionality and the new emerge options. To do this, type: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# emerge --help config |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This one is the most important. Make sure you understand how CONFIG_PROTECT |
| 15 |
works and that you have it set up to your liking. Since Config File Protection |
| 16 |
is enabled by default, this is very important. Post any questions you have |
| 17 |
here. Also familiarize yourself with CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
# emerge --help |
| 20 |
# emerge --help system |
| 21 |
# emerge --help rsync |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Besides that, enjoy the new version of Portage, which now supports "~" deps |
| 24 |
(that developers will start using immediately, hence the need for everyone to |
| 25 |
upgrade) and has the nice new colorized emerge with the useful on-line help :) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
(Note: if you have been using the previous Config File Management-enabled |
| 28 |
version of Portage, you'll want to scan for ._cfg_* files too (not just |
| 29 |
._cfg????_* files; type "emerge --help config" after merging Portage 1.5.2 and |
| 30 |
you'll know what I'm talking about) |
| 31 |
|

Best Regards, |
