Given that is going to involve quite a bit of changes, and it appears |
| 28 |
the OP has a outdated system, going in steps may be a good idea. At |
| 29 |
least that way if something breaks, it may be easier to fix since the |
| 30 |
steps are smaller. |
| 31 |
|

As usual tho, it depends. It may be easy enough to go to 17.1 but then |
| 33 |
again, it could create a mess. I guess it is up to the OP which route |
| 34 |
to go and how much compiling he wants to do. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If I recall correctly, I did a merge -e world when I switched to 17.0. |
| 37 |
There are some things that I'd rather rebuild everything just to be |
| 38 |
sure. When it is winter time, why not, I need the heat anyway. ;-) |
