Just curious to hear how others are doing scheduled updates. I currently am doing an "emerge -U world" each night on my workstations, "emerge -Up world" on my server with the results emailed to me. Is this pretty much what others are doing? I wondered about adding --deep, but that one kind of scares me.
Suggestions, helpful advice?

This is the little script I run:
---- emerge sync emerge -Duvlp world | cat -s > /tmp/change.log mail -s "Portage updates!" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp/change.log ----
This sends me a record of all updates and respective changelog entries by email after which I can manually perform the update using the command below.
---- emerge -Duf world 2>&1 | tee /tmp/fetch.log emerge -Du world 2>&1 | tee /tmp/emerge.log ----
This fetches the files first and then performs the updates and logs everything to files for bug filing purposes.
