Well, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I brought this up before. No need for argument, just test it out |
| 4 |
for yourself. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Multiple times (over the last few weeks) I have run 'emerge -uDNvp |
| 7 |
@world' and there are issues to deal with manually. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
For example 'One or more updates/rebuilds have been skipped due to a |
| 10 |
dependency conflict', type of fudd and other types of fudd is the |
| 11 |
result, not all the time, but maybe 50% of the time. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Now, routinely, all I do is immediately issue this command |
| 15 |
'emerge -uDt @world' and go have a coffee. An AMD 8 core, 32G |
| 16 |
workstation does it's thang, leaving me a with just a smile after the |
| 17 |
work is complete. No other actions, nadda, ziltch. Immediately, I then |
| 18 |
run 'emerge -uDNvp world' (again, and routinely I get:: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
"These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Just try it for yourself. It's like clockwork now. Smooth. I have over |
| 28 |
1500 packages installed on a mostly stable but hacked out |
| 29 |
/usr/local/portage/ and maybe 10% of the packages, that are much newer, |
| 30 |
but portage is sweet, sweet, sweet now. There is inherent magic now, but, |
| 31 |
I do not have time to ferret it out. Sure I can dive in, manually, |
| 32 |
and I have done this to fix things, but, 'emerge -uDt @world' fixes |
| 33 |
things, automagically; dozens of times as I update 3 or 4 times a week. |
| 34 |

YMMV. --livin the dream, brah, livin the dream..... |
