Hey all, remember me? I'm the guy with the old desktop from this thread: |

That post tells the beginning of the story pretty nicely. To pick up |
| 5 |
where I left off 11 months ago, I used the computer occasionally as a |
| 6 |
device to control general IO through the parallel port, but never did |
| 7 |
anything with portage. When it got cold about a week ago, I determined |
| 8 |
that it was time to bring the box back from the dead to work as a... |
| 9 |
space heater. I decided take the ~x86 system, up to date as of January |
| 10 |
1st, 2010, and switch back to x86. This was the plan (outlined in a |
| 11 |
post, by Alan I do believe, from around the same time as the one linked |
| 12 |
to): |
| 13 |
1. Change ACCEPT_KEYWORDS from "~x86" to "x86" in make.conf. |
| 14 |
2. Keyword the specific version of all installed packages which are |
| 15 |
newer than the current stable. |
| 16 |
3. Gradually wait for x86 to catch up to the installed system and |
| 17 |
unkeyword packages as newer versions are installed. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
In this case, I did most of the waiting for stable to catch up before |
| 20 |
doing anything else, and it turns out that it paid off (only sixteen |
| 21 |
packages were in need of keywording). Here's a retroactively simplified |
| 22 |
summary of what I did, with a more detailed listing below: |
| 23 |
Changed ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "x86" in /etc/make.conf. |
| 24 |
emerge --sync |
| 25 |
Updated @system |
| 26 |
Did the layman symlink thing. |
| 27 |
Removed openrc due to file conflicts (seems to have been replaced?) |
| 28 |
Had a heck of a time with the libpng 1.2-1.4 update |
| 29 |
Was puzzled by with the move from dev-libs/poppler to app-text/poppler |
| 30 |
Updated @world |
| 31 |
Masked >=sys-apps/v86d-0.1.3-r1...it still won't build correctly. |
| 32 |
Removed firefox and xulrunner on account of weird slotting problems and |
| 33 |
xulrunner taking >1 hour to build. |
| 34 |
Removed xsane and sane-backends because it won't build and I won't be |
| 35 |
using it. |
| 36 |
Was slightly confused by the bluez move. |
| 37 |
Manually installed some grub stages. |
| 38 |
Keyworded 16 packages which are newer than the current stable (step 2 |
| 39 |
above). |
| 40 |
Was exceedingly confused by the gdbm format changes. The only offending |
| 41 |
database was /etc/sasl2/sasldb2, which I renamed hoping it wouldn't |
| 42 |
break anything. |
| 43 |
Updated the kernel according to my usual procedure. |
| 44 |
emerge -e world (took almost exactly 30.5 hours, no errors) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
So it's quite possible to move from unstable to stable, it's just not |
| 47 |
very pretty. Thanks for your advice way back when; it seems to have |
| 48 |
worked out in the end. Any opinions on what I did right/shouldn't have |
| 49 |
done the way I did? |

Here's my detailed log of all the commands I ran/changes I made, in |
| 55 |
chronological order, for those that are interested: |
| 56 |
changed /etc/make.conf from ~x86 to x86 |
| 57 |
emerge --sync |
| 58 |
ln -s /var/lib/layman /usr/local/portage/layman |
| 59 |
emerge -u system |
| 60 |

| 61 |
emerge -C openrc #was causing problem |
| 62 |
emerge -u system #completing after problem |
| 63 |
etc-update |
| 64 |
emerge -uD system (128 packs; 112 done) |
| 65 |
revdep-rebuild --library '/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0' (it failed because |
| 66 |
dev-libs/poppler had moved) |
| 67 |
emerge -C dev-libs/poppler (and 2 similar-named reverse deps) |
| 68 |
emerge -1 app-text/poppler (to replace it) |

| 78 |
perl-cleaner --all (17 packs) |
| 79 |
emerge -C dev-util/lafilefixer |
| 80 |
emerge -u world (49 packs; 6 done; v86d failed due to old kernel) |
| 81 |
(updated kernel to 2.6.36-r12) |
| 82 |
emerge -1uv x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (module-rebuild wanted old |
| 83 |
version) |
| 84 |

| 85 |
masked >=sys-apps/v86d-0.1.3-r1 |

| 89 |
emerge -C libpng:1.2 |
| 90 |
emerge -u world (27 packs; 9 done; failed at awesome due to convert |
| 91 |
using the wrong libjpeg) |
| 92 |
unmasked pygtk since libpng seems to be fixed |
| 93 |
revdep-rebuild -L libjpeg.so.7 (failed because of xulrunner upgrade |
| 94 |
causing slotting problems) |
| 95 |
emerge -C xulrunner |
| 96 |
emerge -C firefox (didn't really need them...) |
| 97 |
Removed xulrunner and firefox from USE |
| 98 |
revdep-rebuild -L libjpeg.so.7 (failed because of sane-backends |
| 99 |
downgrade) |
| 100 |
emerge -uDav @world (to find to-be-downgraded packages) |
| 101 |
emerge -C bluez-libs bluez-utils cwiid (were bocking |
| 102 |
net-wireless/bluez-4.75) |
| 103 |
emerge -uDav @world (to find to-be-downgraded packages) |
| 104 |
Keyworded 16 to-be-downgraded packages; media-sound/lame-3.98.2-r2 and |
| 105 |
xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.7.1 were still to be downgraded but are not |
| 106 |
major so I unkeyworded them. |
| 107 |
revdep-rebuild -L libjpeg.so.7 (wanted to downgrade sane-backends AGAIN) |
| 108 |
emerge --oneshot media-gfx/imagemagick:0 (all the others will be |
| 109 |
rebuilt anyway; this one is needed for the upgrade however) |
| 110 |
emerge -u world (13 packs; all done) |
| 111 |
grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda |
| 112 |
emerge -uD world (77 packs; 40 done; proceeded to do xulrunner which |
| 113 |
takes more than an hour so I stopped it) |
| 114 |
added "-xulrunner -firefox" to USE |
| 115 |
emerge -uD world (36 packs; all done) |
| 116 |
emerge -ep world |
| 117 |
masked <sys-apps/v86d-0.1.9, <dev-libs/klibc-1.5.15-r1 |
| 118 |
keyworded sys-apps/v86d-0.1.9, x11-themes/gtk-engines-nodoka-0.7.2, |
| 119 |
net-misc/ethercard-diag-20050321.1g, =dev-libs/klibc-1.5.15-r1 |
| 120 |
emerge -ep world (checking for packages to be updated) |
| 121 |
emerge -av1 dev-lang/swig gnome-base/gnome-common app-arch/cabextract |
| 122 |

emerge -e world (took 30.5 hours; no failures) |
| 126 |
revdep-rebuild (just in case) |
| 127 |
sane 1.0.19-r2 was still giving me trouble: "make[1]: *** No rule to |
| 128 |
make target `libsane-rts8891.la', needed by `all'. Stop.", so I removed |
| 129 |
it. |
| 130 |
rm '/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8' |
| 131 |
rm '/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8' (some package told me to) |
| 132 |
revdep-rebuild (just so I could hear "success") |
| 133 |
mv /etc/sasl2/sasldb2 /etc/sasl2/sasldb2.old (I was too lazy to fix the |
| 134 |
whole gdbm thing and hoped this wouldn't break anything) |
