http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap3 ======================== <copy&paste>===================== Updating your System To keep your system in perfect shape (and not to mention install the latest security updates) you need to update your system regularly. Since Portage only checks the ebuilds in your Portage tree you first have to update your Portage tree. Code Listing 2: Updating the Portage tree # emerge --sync When your Portage tree is updated, you can update your system with emerge --update world ... Code Listing 16: Removing orphaned dependencies # emerge --update --deep --newuse world # emerge --depclean # revdep-rebuild ============================================================ Could some of you, gentoo-wizards, be kind enough and explain, what is wrong in doing the things the way gentoo handbook recommends it? Without offensive language, if I may ask... Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
