hello everyone, I am currently on gentoo, openrc+xfce, the computer works very well, but I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade to the "hardened" version when everything is already installed, is that what it is? complicated ? |

Quote: | The base of Gentoo Hardened is a hardened toolchain by enabling specific options in the toolchain (compiler, linker ...) such as forcing position-independent executables (PIE), stack smashing protection and compile-time buffer checks. See the table. | Without knowing the specifics of what you want to do, it seems most of the changes that come with the profile are compile options. So the first check is whether or not everything compiles. The second more involved check is using everything on the system to see that it works.
An additional step that may or may not be mentioned when switching profiles is to see what will change before completing the switch. An example without the actual steps, switch to the profile, then run the command to upgrade using the --pretend option. See what is going to happen based on that output. Before finishing the switch, you can go back to the previous profile because you haven't actually changed anything. Then once you've decided you want to make the switch, you can do so, knowing what to expect about the changes that will occur. _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |
