Hi all,
Every morning I start konsole, type "emerge --sync", and then go do
other stuff. Some time later I look at the output and usually run
"emerge ... world". I would like to automate that a bit more.
Just a suggestion: Do you know the porticron script? Combined with a
proper setup of ssmtp, it will sync you portage tree daily (in the
background) and send you an email with all updates, and important
security notes.
Thanks, no I did not know about this script.
I checked it out but I prefer to kick the sync off myself (syncing
really slows down the computer).
It doesn't have to. You can put these in your make.conf:
PORTAGE_NICENESS=19
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="sh -c \"schedtool -B \${PID}; ionice -c 3 -p
\${PID}\""
Syncing and emerging should be transparent now. You won't even know
it's happening :-)
