I am trying to figure out the best way to Update and Clean my system.
Below is the list of how I've been doing it, but I'm not sure if it the right way. |
| Code: | My current list of ToDos:
1- emerge --sync
2- emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world
or
3- emerge --update --newuse --with-bdeps=y --deep @world --ask
4- emerge --depclean
5- etc-update
or
6- dispatch-conf
7- revdep-rebuild
8- eclean-dist --destructiv |

Mine is fairly similar - though I tend to less often run revdep-rebuild (a lot is now automatically fixed) and eclean-dist --destructive just in case I need to backtrack. But yes I have to carefully check what potentially gets updated each time, and --ask does it fine. Same with --depclean, sometimes it can get rid of an application that you found helpful but portage thought it was orphaned (emerge --noreplace that package to add it into your worldfile.)

Mine is a massively complex Perl script that automates tasks such as compiling the kernel, running makewhatis after a manpages update, etc. Comments welcome  http://pastebin.com/bAScAdA3 |
