Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
this is a very general question. |
| 4 |
Having used LinuxFromScratch for several years, I've switched to |
| 5 |
Gentoo a few month ago. |
| 6 |
Im must say I'm quite impressed. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Still, for a newcomer like me, there remains one problem. |
| 9 |
How to upgrade Gentoo? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Having tried to upgrade to udev-103 I fell flat on my face until |
| 12 |
I've found a hint by some helpful soul which indicated |
| 13 |
that I should unmerge some packages, rc-update del some |
| 14 |
scripts before I upgrade to udev-103. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The next step which I'm afraid of is upgrading |
| 17 |
to glibc-2.5 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Having destroyed (the system) of my machine some years |
| 20 |
ago by upgrading glibc (on Suse), I know that this |
| 21 |
is not a trivial step. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, the question: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Is there a general source of information about |
| 26 |
warnings, actions to be taking, etc to be followed |
| 27 |
when upgrading certains critical packages. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Many thanks for your help and hints, |
| 30 |
Helmut. |
