Hi everyone, |
| 5 |

I've been working on a script for doing global updates on packages installed in the vdb (related to bug 122089). It's called vdb-update [1] and it does basically the same thing as fixpackages but it works on installed packages instead of binary packages. |

vdb-update has the beginnings of a job progress framework that portage can use to run various time consuming tasks, display progress, and interrupt tasks when necessary. When vdb-update and fixpackages are ready, I'd like to make both of them into emaint modules. |

In order to run the script, you will need at least revision 2801 of portage, so I have made an svn snapshot and ebuild available [2] for the convenience of anyone who would like to try it. Your feedback on vdb-update (in it's unfinished state) would be appreciated. |
