Greetings, the upgrade on my old laptop with two 2.7GHz Dual-Core Skylake proces- sors took slightly more than 2 hours for the manual upgrading of "bin- utils", "gcc" and "glibc", and slightly more than 21.5 hours for the fi- nal upgrade of "@world", which had to process a total of 1061 packages. I'm wondering whether a fresh install from a stage 3 "tar" ball would have been faster?
My first Gentoo installation on this laptop back in mid 2019 used pro- file 17.1 (which is still marked "experimental", by the way). Now, less than five years later this profile set is deprecated. Is five years a common intervall between enforced Gentoo profile upgrades? Sincerely, Rainer
