Subject: [gentoo-user] converting from testing to stable SLOWLY
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 16:18:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yu9ipa8g8d1.fsf@nyu.edu> (raw)
A few months ago a procedure was given for converting from testing to
stable (e.g. ~amd64-->~amd) by essentially waiting for stable to catch
up.
I believe the basic idea was to unmask a bunch of packages and then as
stable catches up, remove the unmasks. I also believe there was some
automated way to generate the unmasks and maybe a way to see when each
is not needed.
Can someone repost this msg?
I foolishly did not save it and now want to convert a system to stable
and can afford to do so slowly.
thanks,
allan
