Hi all,
I've just done an
emerge --sync
ad got, along with all the usual stuff, the following:
*************************
...
...
...
Performing Global Updates:
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' #='/var/db update' @='/var/db move'
s='/var/db SLOT move' %='binary move' S='binary SLOT move'
p='update /etc/portage/package.*'
/usr/portage/profiles/updates/1Q-2005................
.....................................................
.....................................................
.....................................................
.....................................................
..............
/usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2010........
#
* An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended
...
...
...
*************************
The question is: Should a profile from 2005 be updated as well? I built
this machine from scratch about 6 months ago so there wasn't something
like a "favourite config" I brought across from another machine. Is this
normal behaviour? Should I be worried? Should I zealously try and track
this down and kill it or should I let bygones be bygones?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew
