I use two scripts for all emerge use, the goal is to run one command and
then walk away:
Standard general update script:
#######################
tortoise ~ # cat sysupdate
#they must have moved or removed the logs, might have to track them down
again...
#rm /var/log/emerge*
# cache /usr/portage
echo "caching /usr/portage. This will take a long time."
time ls -R /usr/portage > /dev/null
emerge --sync
layman --sync ALL
emerge --update --verbose portage
emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y system --keep-going
emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y world --keep-going
rm -f /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/*.rr
revdep-rebuild
emerge --skipfirst --resume
emerge --skipfirst --resume
etc-update
eclean-dist
########################
The eclean line was added just a few days ago from this thread...
This one is intended to be a nice gentle update script.
It caches the portage tree, then syncs everything, then updates
everything starting with critical system packages, then all world
packages...
Then it cleans stuff up, it jcakhammers the revdep-rebuild but not too
hard....
This next script is what I use when emerge starts giving me shit:
##################
tortoise ~ # cat keepgoing
emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y system
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y world
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
rm /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/*.rr
revdep-rebuild
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
emerge --skipfirst --resume --nodeps
etc-update
###################
It's basically the same as the working section of the above but instead
of letting emerge do it's thing, it jackhammers that bitch as hard as
possible to get as much updated as possible, but it requires emerge to
do something and not error out for no good reason... I expect prune and
depclean to be useless but I kinda need update to basically work every
time. =\
Whatever fails on this script, I just live with until next week/month.
