18 If you see this now, your production server hasn't been updated for a long
19 time...

21 As a last resort, you should be able to run a "non-installed" portage version
22 to update your system once. Manually download and unpack a recent portage
23 tarball somewhere temporary and then run as root something like
24
25 porto tmp # ./portage-2.3.0/bin/emerge -uDNav world
26
27 This can update your system to the newest state, including updating the
28 installed portage. Afterwards you won't need the temporarily unpacked portage
29 anymore.
