[gentoo-dev] Massive updates from sync

[gentoo-dev] Massive updates from sync

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I sync'd and updated Saturday.   Then on Sunday and today emerge -u --deep 
system -p gives me a large list of updates (including debiantools and 
baselayout) it wants to perform - including updating Nvidia drivers.  Most of 
the changes are the same version but just incrementing the n in -rn (say from 
r1 to r2).

With the recent problems with portage where a bunch of stuff was moved from 
~x86 to x86 when it shouldn't have been I hesitate to turn emerge loose and 
let it update.  Is portage back to where I can safely let it go and do the 
updates?

We've fixed most of what needs to be fixed. If you've synced within the 
last few hours, you should be okay.
