You might get away with an 'emerge -uND world", but consider what you |
| 21 |
are trying to accomplish. You want to update and make a deep change to |
| 22 |
the most basic library on the system - glibc - and at the same time |
| 23 |
change the system's threading model. When done, every library that |
| 24 |
previously used nptl will still want to, but it won't be there. So you |
| 25 |
will need to do a revdep-rebuild and wait for the humunguous emerge |
| 26 |
that triggers to complete. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
All things considered, you might as well just 'emerge -e world' anyway. |
| 29 |
It's likely to take not much longer and will be a mostly uneventful |
| 30 |
task that takes about a day or so. |
