This alias is in /root/.bashrc: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
alias ud='eix-sync && emerge -aDjNuv @world && dispatch-conf && emerge -a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit' |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
emerge -aDjNuv @world |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
a = ask (Yes/No prompt -- don't waste time with --pretend) |
| 27 |
D = deep (consider the entire dependency tree of packages) |
| 28 |
j = jobs (no number after j means to run as many simultaneously as possible) |
| 29 |
N = newuse (pkgs with changed USE flags) |
| 30 |
u = update (to the best version available) |
| 31 |
v = verbose |
| 32 |
@world = world set |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
"man emerge" would be very enlightening for you... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
It's important to sync (eix-sync) before you start, or your local portage tree |
| 37 |
won't have any new software; and equally important to check configs |
| 38 |
(dispatch-conf), clean out pkgs no longer needed (--depclean), and rebuild any |
| 39 |
deps (revdep-rebuild). Don' forget to read news (eselect news read). |

Running this ud alias every morning with coffee on no less than 8 Gentoo boxen |
| 42 |
on this LAN keeps everything updated, clean, and I'm usually one of the first |
| 43 |
to find new bugs. Well, since my test machine running ~amd64 is no longer in |
| 44 |
service, there are less bugs. But, still, there are enough bugs in amd64. |
