Greetings,
the upgrade on my old laptop with two 2.7GHz Dual-Core Skylake proces-
sors took slightly more than 2 hours for the manual upgrading of "bin-
utils", "gcc" and "glibc", and slightly more than 21.5 hours for the fi-
nal upgrade of "@world", which had to process a total of 1061 packages.
I'm wondering whether a fresh install from a stage 3 "tar" ball would
have been faster?
My first Gentoo installation on this laptop back in mid 2019 used pro-
file 17.1 (which is still marked "experimental", by the way). Now, less
than five years later this profile set is deprecated. Is five years a
common intervall between enforced Gentoo profile upgrades?
Sincerely,
Rainer
I had to upgrade about 7 machines, and three wound up having weird
troubles - so I did exactly that and started fresh on the rest. Working
on the last one (my laptop) right now.
