[gentoo-user] How do you make a gentoo system confirm to a release?

[Christian Nygaard]

If you have a Gentoo system with a specific release point for e.g. 2006.0and
you would like to live upgrade it so it confirms to a 2006.1 profile is that
possible?

To be specific I would like if possible to have a live upgrade to stage3 but
with
using i586 compile instead of i686. I could rm -rf /var/db and then reemerge
world, is there
a better way of doing it? I did get a block when doing an emerge world and
the system
is not a production one so some violence can be used. Though I prefer to do
it in the correcter
way if there is a such?

Thanks,
Chris
