Update - alternative method

[wolfden]

Updated 07/5/08

Hey guys I want to revisit a script I had mentioned earlier in the world update thread. One really need to take some time and get to know this script as it is pretty slick and can make things easier. The best part, it's actively developed on.

Please see this thread:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-546828.html

You run this script and it will compile the packages and skip over the ones that fail and when it is all done it will give you a report of what failed. It will than ask to do a revdep-rebuild automatically but it doesn't do anything unless you tell it too. It's nice in the fact that it doesn't scroll your screen as it compiles stuff, it just outputs the important info and if it fails it gives you the error as to why. You can use this for world updates or individual updates with the switches, such as

Code: Select all

update -ia foo

most people are just gonna run it as is

Code: Select all

update

and than it shows and prompts you for action, its same as running a emerge -auDNR --world

You can always do

Code: Select all

update --help

or you can join the irc room that is mentioned in the above thread and talk to the developer himself.

Another thing is, it makes a list of the emerged packages in your root folder and you can than manipulate that list. It also will work with binhost for those interested in the binary stuff. For information on binhost: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Using_PORTAGE_BINHOST I don't mess with it much myself so I can't help ya on that part. It can also be used for security update.

Code: Select all

update -S

same as doing glsa-check -f affected

It's simple to install and try it out:

Code: Select all

su

Code: Select all

enter password

Direct download:

Code: Select all

wget -O /sbin/update http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~igli/src/update/update-20080622

Than do

Code: Select all

chmod u+x /sbin/update

You also need

Code: Select all

wget http://weaver.gentooenterprise.com/warning-20080526 -O /etc/warning

I'll try to keep updates here as the developer kicks em out. You will want to use the gentoo thread to submit bug or problems tho or catch igli in the irc room.

Hi folks,

I have some trouble using the "update" script.

The script installation went without error, but unfortunately when I use the command update -s I got the following error:

Code: Select all

well either unmask what it needs or uninstall portato for now

Unfortunately python-updater -i stops exactly with the same error on python-musicbrainz2:0!!!
No way for me to get update working

[wolfden]

yea that is normal, just got to keep working through it. updating python is a bugger, your not going to get all the packages as portage is so old on 3.4

[wolfden]

New release is out:
