I've inherited some older gentoo instances and I've been asked to upgrade ruby to the current patchlevel but I have no idea how to do that. Documentation is coming up sparse or I don't know what to search on.
/etc/gentoo-release says Gentoo Base System release 2.1 if that helps. I did find this doc on portage. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1 The few emerge commands I have run seem to indicate it's old and needs help. I wonder if it's old enough that I'll need to do a major system upgrade to do the ruby upgrade. Basically I'm looking for something that's similar to "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" that can get me an updated system. Thanks, -adam
