8 Before changing the profile are you clean with emerge -pvDuN
9 --with-bdeps=y world? (Or at a minimum 'system').
10
11 Personally I want to be careful about changing profiles with my system
12 not totally up to date. I'm also running eix-test-obsolete to make
13 sure I'm not masking something I should really be using. So, just
14 sitting here thinking, this is likely overkill but I think safe:
15
16 eix-sync
17 eix-test-obsolete
18 emerge -pvDuN --with-bdeps=y world
19 emerge -p --depclean
20 emerge -pvDuN --with-bdeps=y world
21 revdep-rebuild -p
22 eix-test-obsolete
23
24 Assuming everything is totally clean, or at least understood, now I
25 change the profile and repeat the above tasks.
26
27 Good luck,
28 Mark
