Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
OK, I have read back into January the suggestions on this |
4 |
list about going to Kde-meta 4.2. I have dozens of workstations |
5 |
running gentoo, so now I'm going to upgrade one (test) laptop |
6 |
to get a feel for kde-4.2 and hopefully flesh out an |
7 |
upgrade strategy for all of these laptops and workstations |
8 |
running kde. I'm not so concerned with being slick, |
9 |
as I am discovering the verbose, *sure_footed steps* to make |
10 |
the migration, mechanical, because these will be done, one |
11 |
at a time, in the background while I do other work related |
12 |
tasks. The systems vary wildly (cpu, video etc) but |
13 |
they all have kde-meta 3.6.9 installed, currently. |
14 |
|
15 |
|
16 |
So here are my (gleaned) steps: |
17 |
|
18 |
1. emerge --unmerge kde-meta |
19 |
|
20 |
2. emerge --pretend --depclean kde-meta |
21 |
<check over manually> |
22 |
|
23 |
3. emerge --depclean kde-meta |
24 |
|
25 |
4. autounmask kde-base/kde-4.2.0 |
26 |
|
27 |
5. echo "kde-base/kde-meta ~amd64" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords |
28 |
|
29 |
6. emerge -DNv kde-meta |
30 |
|
31 |
|

|
33 |
Look plausible? Verbose comments are most welcome. |
