 |
|
| Now that 2004.1 is out, should I upgrade to it? In other words, is the version that I have installed now (new as of 3 months ago) able to be updated to 2004.1, or is a fresh install necessary? What makes a new release different from just updating the ebuilds that are available? In still other words, is an 'emerge -u system' and 'emerge -u world' sufficient or is there some fundamental change apparent in a new release that cannot be implemented this way? |

| It's just a new version of the LiveCD. Perodic emerge sync and emerge -uD world will keep your system up to date. |

But it is little bit strange on the [link=http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=gentoo]Distriwatch[/link] version 2004.1 come with gcc 3.3.3 on the 2004.0 is 3.3.2 so on command emerge -uD world it can not update gcc.
You can chk #emerge -puD world

gcc 3.3.3 is still marked as unstable on some architectures. You can still emerge it though
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~architecture-type-here" emerge gcc |
Note: That will get you 3.3.3-r3 on some architectures, since that is the latest version in portage. To get 3.3.3 specifically
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~architecture-type-here" emerge =gcc-3.3.3 |
