I'm running on this box linux-3.10.17-gentoo so it is fairly new. I updated my world 1-month ago. |
| 50 |
I usually update every three months. First backup system, if there are no major issues after a week or so I upgrade few other system and if everything goes smooth I |
| 51 |
upgrade the main system with the same three. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Is is possible to have packages without "systemd" flag. |
| 54 |
I was just rebuilding |
| 55 |
gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
and it wants to pull-in: sys-apps/systemd-208-r2 |
| 58 |
and this conflicts with udev. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I'm not switching to systemd anytime soon, got burned recently and have no time to learn new configuration settings. |
