9 This method is working.

11 I have managed to successfully update from 2020-03-24 to 2020-05-29 in
12 one day increments.
13
14 I'm starting to see some oddities, like a given version of gimp blocking
15 itself. Unmerging and re-emerging solved that. So I'm going to let the
16 system spend 12 hours and do an emerge -DUNe @world && emerge --depclean
17 --verbose n && revdep-rebuild, reboot, and continue with 2020-06-01.
18
19 I have run into a few problems where emerge can't download files. So
20 I'm finding them online, downloading them, and saving them to
21 /usr/portage/distfiles.
22
23 I have had a couple things (really old kernel source still installed)
24 that I needed to find the ebuild files for. I added them to my local
25 repository.
26
27 I did have an ancient package, ncpfs, that was blocking things. Since I
28 didn't need it, I have unmerged it. If / when I need it in the future,
29 I'll deal with it then.
