Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Some time ago, I upgraded several systems I manage. |
| 4 |
First was the (painful) upgrade of kde-monolith |
| 5 |
to kde-meta. [1] |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Then the easier of the two xorg 6.8 to xorg 7.0. [2] |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I have kept these pacakges masked for a while on other systems, |
| 10 |
some of which I only get possession of sporadically for critical/huge |
| 11 |
upgrade. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So my questions are: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. Are these still the most updated urls? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2. Which should be performed first kde monolithic-->meta |
| 19 |
or Xorg to Xorg-modular? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
3. Is there any method to streamline/automate these tasks |
| 22 |
so that the machines compile the new software overnight, unattended? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(note distcc is not used, since these are 'traveling portables' |
| 25 |
that are often sync'd and updated away from our main office. |
| 26 |
|

|

thoughts and recomendations are most welcome. |
