Has Alan ever posted his "jackhammer" script for some experts to look at? |

I get by really well with a small script that reads the eix outputs, finds |
| 4 |
the "[U]" |
| 5 |
tagged packages, and then runs "emerge -u1" on that list. |

Doing anything more than that will be a cause of pain and suffering. |

If a package needs patches for something special, it is better to make a |
| 10 |
local |
| 11 |
repository with modified ebuilds and distfiles, rather than try to force |
| 12 |
the gentoo repo |
| 13 |
into your own mess. I do this for a few tthings that Gentoo doesn't ship. |

Portage |

is actuallly quite flexible underneath, itt just takes a bit of learning. |
