You almost always want |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
emerge -avuND world |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Which will find every relevant change you made and deal with it. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Don't forget |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
emerge -av @preserved-rebuild with recent portage versions |
| 30 |
revdep-rebuild -p -i followed by |
| 31 |
revdep-rebuild to find broken stuff and finally |
| 32 |
emerge -a --depclean to clean out obsolete stuff that's hanging around |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Don't run these blindly. Eyeball the output, understand what you are looking |
| 35 |
at. |
