8 This is what I do regularly.
9
10 eix-sync or emerge --sync
11
12 emerge -uvDNa world
13
14 emerge -a --depclean
15
16 revdep-rebuild -i -- -a
17
18 If python gets updated, add python-updater after the world update.

20 Usually portage will tell you if you need to run anything else.

22 All that said, the other advice doesn't hurt one bit. It just depends
23 on how sane you want your system. When mine acts funny(tm), I do a
24 emerge -e world. It's amazing how that fixes those things you can't
25 quite figure out.

27 Even tho I can compile OOo in about 45 minutes or so, I do hate to see
28 it in the list. Thing is, whenever something on here burps, OOo gets
29 rebuilt. lol It does seem to be better here lately tho. Shhhhhh,
30 don't jinx it.
