On my old rig, I updated it last night. On it, nothing else depended on |
| 23 |
openrc and baselayout. It had other updates and I wanted to do the |
| 24 |
openrc alone so I did emerge -1av openrc and that updated baselayout and |
| 25 |
installed openrc. I might add, the machine is remotely ran over ssh. |
| 26 |
The only time I touch it is to push the power switch to turn it on. The |
| 27 |
upgrade was easy enough. Most of the things in the guide are done |
| 28 |
during the install and can be skipped. It would be safer to check them |
| 29 |
all tho. When I finished, I just typed in reboot & exit and a couple |
| 30 |
minutes later, I logged back in. No problems at all. |

If you want to hold off on the updates, just add the packages to |
| 33 |
package.mask and it will skip them so that you can still use world and |
| 34 |
system without pulling them in. |

As was already stated, I wouldn't wait to long. It will most likely |
| 37 |
start to breaking things pretty soon. |
