 |
|
Ultra1 running Kernel 2.4.25.
I have been doing emerge system -uvp after emerge -websync.
then checking for things that might effect my install so far so good.
But I started checking emerge world -upv output also there are more packages listed in world 
So which one do you Sparc'rs use???
Does system do just BASIC related packages installed and world do ALL packages installed?
Did search on forums and no real comparison found..
Thanks for the input

Yes and no. "emerge -uv system" only updates the base installation packages, while "emerge -uv world" will update all packages that are listed in "/var/lib/portage/world" (which is probably not everything that is installed on your system, but are the packages you installed yourself).
If you're trying to update your entire system regularly, I would recommend something like:
You can find more information in the man pages for "emerge" and here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1 |
