I have to agree with ng0 |

WOW! |

Alan just wants to start it and walk away, as if Gentoo was a binary |
| 18 |
distribution |
| 19 |
that handles it all upstream. He doesn't want to take the time to review |
| 20 |
what |
| 21 |
emerge is proposing and see if changes are needed first. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Hey Alan: Gentoo is NOT a start an update and walk away setup. Some human |
| 24 |
mind needs to be involved if troubles arise. Also, read make.conf(5) and |
| 25 |
set up |
| 26 |
the various variables correctly; PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET should only have |
| 27 |
one python version set. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Furthermore, the current portage doesn't require the revdep-rebuild step |
| 30 |
because |
| 31 |
of the @preserved-rebuild set creation. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
In any case, to try and force things through without looking at what |
| 34 |
problems are occuring |
| 35 |
is just (excuse my language) batshit crazy stupid. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |

| 38 |
I use my update generator script so make the emerge command(s) just so |
| 39 |
I can preview the packages and modify the sequences or leave out some |
| 40 |
updates |
| 41 |
if i need/want to do so. (E.g. I may want to defer a chromium or |
| 42 |
libreoffice update |
| 43 |
to after other updates are done and/or set them to occur with a lower |
| 44 |
niceness or |
| 45 |
an ionice idle class.) |
