I might've missed it, but do we have a step-by-step procedure to take a rootfs |
| 2 |
that uses ncurses-5.9 and upgrade it to ncurses-6.0 WITHOUT breaking anything? |
| 3 |
I, like others, ran into the problem of emerge yanking libncurses.so.5 libs |
| 4 |
out when upgrading to ncurses-6.0, which broke bash and a few other packages. |
| 5 |
Took some kludging but I got that fixed on my primary systems. |

However I have a few chroots that need to be refreshed for catalyst runs, and I |
| 8 |
would like to just automate the ncurses upgrade for them somehow. I know |
| 9 |
there's a few nucrses metapackages in the tree that facilitate this, but the |
| 10 |
-rX numbers make it confusing as to which packages need to be merged in which |
| 11 |
order (without causing blocks) so that the libncurses.so.[56] libs stay in |
| 12 |
place until an 'emerge @preserved-libs' run can rebuild the packages that still |
| 13 |
link against the old libncurses.so.5. |
