I have acron job running which does an eix-sync, followed by emerge -DuNf @world. And I also call a little script to check for GLSAs (Gentoo Linux Security Advisories): #!/bin/bash glsas=$( glsa-check -n -t all | grep -v "^This system is affected by the following GLSAs:$" ) glsa-check -n -l $glsas 2> /dev/null Wonko
