[gentoo-user] Upgrading glibc & gcc and re-emerging everything
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I decided to try out ~x86 unstable on my system. I didn't want to rebuild my whole system from scratch, but in hindsight that looks like the best thing to do. I tried emerging everything - first by 'ebuild -e system" then 'emerge -U world' but this didn't work for a couple of reasons. First my heavy optimizations caused some of the ebuilds to choke. Also some USE flags cause some unstable ebuilds to choke. Now I'm ~ shure I don't have everything built with the latest versions of gcc and glibc. My first question: Is there any way to tell what I didn't recompile. Second: Is there anyway to stop and restart 'emerge -e world' Third: Is there anyway to pick up where i left off after 'emerge -e world' chokes? - -- - - William F.

Either enable "qt" in your use flags or view this bug for a work around.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21804
It involves editing the ebuild like this:
~ alsa? ( >=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.0_rc2 )
~ esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.28 )"
+src_unpack() {
+ unpack ${A}
+ use qt || sed -i 's/qt[a-z]*//g' ${S}/samples/Makefile.am
+ }
+
~ src_compile() {
~ local myconf="--enable-oss"
~ local kdepre=""
just add the lines with the plus(+) beside them, don't add the plus too.
It should compile fine for you. HTH

You can always check the difference between the old file and the new by typing: #diff /etc/._conf.file.config /etc/file.config you will get the diffences between the files, and a lot of the time the diffences will only be a header, comments, or maybe a new option in the file that you may not need. in that case I just do: rm /etc/._* Tab completion helps a lot when determinining what files need to be updated. diff /etc/._[tab] file.conf also running etc-update without making changes will tell you what sub directories your file changes will occur. Your ._* files are in the directories where the old file is. For example if you update apache you will probably be prompted to overwrite, /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf and /etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf If you've spent as much time configuring Apache as I have you definately don't want to loose these files, and you probably don't need to change your config files unless your updating from apache to apache2, in which case a new directory is created in /etc/apache2. I hope this helps and I didn't confuse you. Summary, just be careful running etc-update after making significant system changes, and always backup. - -- - - William F.
