During installation you will run 'emerge --sync' which will update portage |
| 21 |
with the latest and greatest for each package ebuild. Then 'emerge --update |
| 22 |
--newuse --deep --ask world' will install the latest version of any package |
| 23 |
you may have installed, or install thereafter in your system (like |
| 24 |
libreoffice, etc.) |
