## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is my go to set of commands when I upgrade a gentoo box :
|
||
|
|
{{< highlight sh >}}
|
||
|
|
emerge-webrsync
|
||
|
|
eselect news read
|
||
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The news have to be reviewed carefully and if I cannot act on it immediately I copy paste the relevant bits to my todolist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## The upgrade process
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I run the upgrade process in two steps. The first one is a straightforward upgrade that will stop upon any error to let you asses the situation :
|
||
|
|
{{< highlight sh >}}
|
||
|
|
emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world -q
|
||
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If all went well we can get to the cleaning pass :
|
||
|
|
{{< highlight sh >}}
|
||
|
|
unset ld_library_path && unset e_src && emerge -qaavutdn world --verbose-conflicts --keep-going && emerge --depclean -a && revdep-rebuild -i -- -q --keep-going; eclean distfiles
|
||
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After all this completes it is time to evaluate configuration changes :
|
||
|
|
{{< highlight sh >}}
|
||
|
|
etc-update
|
||
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a new kernel has been emerged, have a look at [the specific process for that]({{< ref "kernel_upgrades" >}}).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Post-upgrade
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Depending of the changes it is now time to :
|
||
|
|
- restart services that have been upgraded
|
||
|
|
- reboot if the kernel or a crucial system component (like openssl) has been upgraded
