PostPosted: Sat Jun 18, 2016 5:31 am    Post subject: Gentoo Update Script Reply with quote

I've written a script which I use to automatically update my Gentoo systems. I thought it was time to publish it and see if anybody else will find it useful: https://github.com/nathanshearer/gentooupdate

Some of the key features I find most useful are:
  • E-Mail Notifications for successful updates, failures, and auditing
  • The ability to abort an update if there is unread news
  • Comprehensive updates with the preservedrebuild, depclean, and revdeprebuild phases

To install the script, copy it to /usr/bin and add this to /etc/cron.daily (don't forget to make it executable):
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/gentooupdate &


A config file can optionally be added at /etc/gentooupdate.conf to e-mail you details of the update:
Code:
EMAIL_ERROR="mail@example.com"
EMAIL_LOG="logs@example.com"


Example Output
Code:
Synopsis
  Automatically update Gentoo Linux in phases:
    sync
    update
    preservedrebuild
    depclean
    revdeprebuild

Usage:
  gentooupdate [options]

Options:
  -a true
    Abort if there is unread news or if emerge is already running.
  -d "--depclean"
    The arguments passed to emerge during the depclean phase.
  -e ""

  -h
    Display this help message and exit.
  -n N
    Sets the niceness to N (default 0).
  -r "@preserved-rebuild"
    The arguments passed to emerge during the preservedrebuild phase.
  -s "--sync"
    The arguments passed to emerge during the sync phase.
  -u "-uDN --with-bdeps=y world"
    The arguments passed to emerge during the update phase.

Examples:
  gentooupdate -a false
  gentooupdate -n 20 -u "-uDN --with-bdeps=y --keep-going world"

Spice it up with ebegin/eend and einfo functions.

Code:
source '/lib/gentoo/functions.sh'

__emerge() { sudo emerge "$@" ;}

rebuild() { __emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse --with-bdeps=y '@world' ;}

update() {
    einfo 'Running sync'
    __emerge --sync

    einfo 'Running emaint'
    sudo emaint --fix cleanresume

    einfo 'Running portage update'
    __emerge --oneshot --update portage

    einfo 'Running system update'
    rebuild

    einfo 'Running metadata regeneration'
    __emerge --regen --quiet

    sudo cp -r /var/cache/eix/{portage.eix,previous.eix}
    einfo 'Running eix update'
    sudo eix-update
    eix-diff

    einfo 'Running external kernel modules rebuild'
    __emerge '@module-rebuild'

    einfo 'Running preserved libs rebuild'
    preserved-rebuild

    einfo 'Running Reverse Dep. Rebuilder'
    revdep
;}

preserved-rebuild() { __emerge '@preserved-rebuild' ;}

revdep() { sudo revdep-rebuild ;}
