I'd like to do update world and am some 4-5 mnths out of date right
now.
Am I likely to hit some horrible snag that has come up recently.
PS - I'm already past the change from hda to sda
I agree with the other post about gcc but you should also update portage
shortly after that. The newer portage is able to handle more issues for
you and may save you some time. So, I would update gcc, portage then
give world a try. If it looks bad, try system first. That could
correct some things.
The only other gotcha I can think of is openrc/baselayout. Do NOT
reboot until you are sure your config files are updated. The only thing
I really had to change myself was my net file. Their script works well.
Anothet thing, I would just do a emerge -e qorld and call it a day. You
will have a few blockers, most openrc stuff, but those can be handled
quickly. Just make sure you don't have a power problem. ;-)
