Old Gateway EC1803 x86 updates to Python 3.11

[figueroa]

This isn't a help request. Just a point of interest. I have an old Gateway 11.6" Notebook https://www.notebookcheck.net/Gateway-EC1803h.26716.0.html, now with 4 GB RAM, not updated since November 2022. Actually, I haven't had it out since then, but I got it out this morning.

This afternoon I thought, skeptically, I would see if I could still updated it, emerge -uDU @world. I was worried about the standardization of Python 3.11. But, it's currently emerging package 9 of 661 without apparent issue. It will probably still be working on this at this time tomorrow. I'm guessing 36 hours or so.

Portage nowdays has some really clever methods to manage to go trough even bigger updates without an error. That said I still usually pass --keep-going when there's a lot of packages to compile.

I hope you don't mind me moving this topic into Gentoo Chat. ;)
