Well ... I suspect a fair number of Gentoo users do |

|
| 7 |
emerge sync |
| 8 |
emerge -puvD world |
| 9 |
emerge -uD world |
| 10 |
etc-update |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
every day more or less automatically. I tend to be a little more |
| 13 |
cautious than that, but I missed the hotplug warnings and had to figure |
| 14 |
everything out by myself. At that point, the word "coldplug" flashed by |
| 15 |
my subliminal vision :). So I must have seen the warning. |

How about this: |

Whenever you do "emerge sync", you get a list of "release notes" for |
| 20 |
everything that has changed since your last sync. I know Portage is |
| 21 |
smart enough to do this sort of thing, because it told me I had to |
| 22 |
update my /etc/make.profile last night, and it tells me when I need to |
| 23 |
update Portage. While you're at it, a list of new packages would be |
| 24 |
nice. |

I used to do the following: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
emerge sync |
| 29 |
eupdatedb |
| 30 |
mv packages.txt old-packages.txt |
| 31 |
esearch -Fn ^ > packages.txt |
| 32 |
diff old-packages.txt packages.txt > packages.diff |
