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. > ... > > Some give me pause: > > =sys-apps/baselayout-2.2 > > Is baselayout 2.2 necessary for upgrading udev, or just optional? Could I upgrade this without upgrading udev? > I can't comment on baselayout 2.2 yet, as I have been holding off on updating it on my systems as well. I have updated them all to at least udev 197, though, without too much trouble. If you update to udev 200 without going through 197, though, make sure you don't forget to ``touch /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules``, lest you end up with ridiculous names for your ethernet devices. > =sys-boot/grub-2.00-r3:2 > > I'm running grub 1. What I have seen of grub 2 doesn't impress me, and besides, my bootable backup is on a different disk but relies on the grub 1 boot setup, and I'd just as soon not upgrade to grub 2 ever if possible. > I too prefer grub 1. You can prevent the upgrade to grub 2 with the following:: emerge --deselect grub emerge --noreplace grub:0 And, just for good measure:: echo '>=sys-boot/grub-2' > /etc/portage/package.mask/grub2 Hope this helps -- ♫Dustin http://dustin.hatch.name/
