Re: [gentoo-user] Update question

[brett holcomb]

Not that I'm aware of.  I keep backups on another system 
and on tape so I can recover.  I assume you've seen some 
of the suggestions in this thread about other programs 
that might make updating easier.

One thing I do is run emerge sync and then emerge -uDp on 
system and world very frequently (daily on some machines). 
This helps keep the number of changes down which is where 
we get into trouble - with a large list of changes it's 
easy to miss one.

Hi Brett,

Thanks for your advice.

If accidentally updating a /etc/~config file, is there 
any record to trace it, i.e. any record showing config 
files updated.

Yes - look at what etc-update displays.  It gives options 
for updating 
all files automatically, selecting them one at a time or 
skipping them.
