[gentoo-user] Lots of big updates...

[Tanstaafl]

Hi everyone,

I haven't updated in a little while, and am seeing a lot of big updates...

The main ones that concern me are:

perl (5.16 > 5.18)
&
mariadb (5.5.37 > 10.0.12)

and of course, I always worry about:

glib (2.38.2-r1 > 2.40.0-r1)
&
glibc (2.17 > 2.19-r1)

Anyone have any warnings/caveats about these updates?

Especially the mariadb update? I'm thinking about masking that one for a 
while, just to be safe...

Thanks

Ok, a little experimenting to see if I can stage these updates and just 
update perl first, I get:

A little googling suggests that I could resolve this by a simple:

emerge -C virtual/perl-Attribute-Handlers-0.930.0-r1
&
emerge -C virtual/perl-MIME-Base64-3.130.0-r3

But even if this does resolve the conflicts, what would break 
(temporarily) if I removed those? They're virtuals, so... maybe... 
nothing? Any way to check?

Nothing will break. Like you say they are virtual and contain no code
and deploy nothing. So your system will continue to function as it
currently does, and Portage will sort itself out when you next emerge world.

Unless of course portage wants to unmerge any of the providers that
satisfy the virtuals, and you say "yes" ... :-)

[Bill Kenworthy]

I would follow that path - I did and it worked out fine.

Unmerge all conflicting perl modules

emerge world -1NuDv

Dont forget perl-cleaner --all immediately afterwards

and with the python updates that are probably there too - python-updater

enjoy ...

Note that some perl modules have disappeared in 5.18 but it didn't cause
me any grief I know of.

They haven't disappeared, they are now part of the core Perl installation
and not needed as separate ebuilds.

I went from mariadb-5.5.38-r1 to 10.0.12 here on Aug 5 and didn't manage 
to break anything, even akonadi-server.
There shouldn't be anythong a revdep-rebuild won't handle.

No problem other than you might have a bunch of blockers to resolve and
of course perl-cleaner to run. Just keep cycling through it till it
completes; preserved-rebuild will keep your system intact.

All regular Gentoo stuff, nothing to be concerned about. Besides, if it
breaks you know what to do (and no-one can really tell you about
breakage in advance)

This is not a problem, but you keep raising it. glib is a bunch of
helper functions and in no way related at all to glibc (an entirely
different kettle of fish)

No problem. There were no ABI changes to glibc for ages now

Run it in your test environment and satisfy yourself first
