| Interface?  It wouldn't differ from how upgrades are currently performed.
|
| - Change your profile to a newer one
The above step is the one that I see as unclear in the current system.
| - emerge -pv system
| - emerge -pv world
| - modify make.conf, /etc/portage/* to taste
| - and so on

| Depends on how the package is versioned in the profile. E.g.  if you have
| glibc-2.3.2-r2 installed, and your profile has:
|
| =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2
|
| You will get glibc-2.3.2-r3 and any other updates, but not 2.3.3 or later.
| If, for whatever reason, that release needs to be updated to 2.3.3, the
| profile will need to be changed.  Which is not an issue if there's a valid
| reason why it needs to be done.
Sounds reasonable to me.
|
