It /looks/ like things are working.
This method is working.
I have managed to successfully update from 2020-03-24 to 2020-05-29 in
one day increments.
I'm starting to see some oddities, like a given version of gimp blocking
itself. Unmerging and re-emerging solved that. So I'm going to let the
system spend 12 hours and do an emerge -DUNe @world && emerge --depclean
--verbose n && revdep-rebuild, reboot, and continue with 2020-06-01.
I have run into a few problems where emerge can't download files. So
I'm finding them online, downloading them, and saving them to
/usr/portage/distfiles.
I have had a couple things (really old kernel source still installed)
that I needed to find the ebuild files for. I added them to my local
repository.
I did have an ancient package, ncpfs, that was blocking things. Since I
didn't need it, I have unmerged it. If / when I need it in the future,
I'll deal with it then.
