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
