Doing an update

• Update index

  emerge --sync

• Rebuild if broken packages block updates

  • Haskell

    haskell-updater

• Update the world

  emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse --with-bdeps=y @world

  • If there are "Detected broken packages" issues with haskell packages during update. Then fix and repeat update

    revdep-rebuild
    haskell-updater
    emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse --with-bdeps=y @world

• Clean obsolete

  # Check what would be removed
  emerge -p --depclean
  # If happy then remove them
  emerge --ask --depclean

• Update dependencies

  # I think revdep-rebuild show take care of it all
  revdep-rebuild
  # python just in case
  python-updater
  # haskell just in case
  haskell-updater
  # verify java is good
  java-check-environment
  # ruby?
  # ???
  # perl?
  # ???
