Thanks, but I was more worring about the profile. It seems as if that
part does not get updated automatically.

How would I upgrade to the new version? Is the following enough?
rm /etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.0/ /etc/make.profile
emerge -uDav world
emerge -uDv world keeps you up to date.
But if you want to be sure try...........
The following will keep a system up to date:-
emerge --sync && emerge -uDpv world
Optional: emerge -uDvf world && emerge -uDv world
emerge -uDv world
emerge -pv depclean
emerge -v depclean
I rather do that manually as there are some issues with the kde*-meta
packages on my system. I usally only want one or two packages from those
meta-ones.
revdep-rebuild -pv
revdep-rebuild -v
dispatch-conf
I use etc-update for that step
That basically updates the portage tree, tells me what's involved in updating
everything, updates everything, tells me what packages are no longer
necessary, removes them, tells me what packages have been broken by an
upgrade or removal, and recompiles them. Then dispatch-conf updates my config
files for me with minimal intervention.
Happy Hacking,
