Especially I have all data dirs off in their own LVM partitions (/home, /encfs, /usr/portage, /var/spool), and a backup of the most recent bootable and runable /, so I can boot back to that if I need to and still get email etc. while working oout what I screwed up. Excluding gcc, llvm, various app-emulation packages, videolibs, etc, most of it looks innocent enough. =sys-apps/coreutils-8.21 =sys-apps/dbus-1.6.10 =sys-apps/dmidecode-2.12 =sys-apps/gptfdisk-0.8.6 =sys-apps/hwids-20130329 =sys-apps/hwloc-1.6.2 =sys-apps/kmod-13 =sys-apps/pciutils-3.2.0 =sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.62 =sys-apps/sandbox-2.6-r1 =sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r4 =sys-apps/usbutils-006-r1 =sys-apps/util-linux-2.22.2 =sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r2 =sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r1 =sys-auth/polkit-0.110 =sys-block/nbd-3.3 =sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools-0.1.5-r1 =sys-cluster/openmpi-1.6.4 =sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils-103 =sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.98 =sys-fs/s3fs-1.67 =sys-fs/s3ql-1.14 =sys-fs/udev-202 =sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-26 =sys-fs/udisks-1.0.4-r5 =sys-fs/udisks-2.1.0:2 =sys-libs/glibc-2.17:2.2 =sys-libs/pam-1.1.6-r4 =sys-power/cpufrequtils-008-r2 =sys-power/cpupower-3.8-r1 =sys-power/powertop-2.3 =sys-power/upower-0.9.20-r2 =sys-process/lsof-4.87-r1 =virtual/udev-197-r3 Some give me pause: =sys-apps/baselayout-2.2 Is baselayout 2.2 necessary for upgrading udev, or just optional?
