Hi. As Python is critical, I would like to know if migrating to python 2.5 is as simple as
| Code: |
sudo emerge -auv dev-lang/python
sudo emerge -av --prune dev-lang/python
revdep-rebuild -p

Thank you very much. So, to confirm, it is safe to issue this
| Code: |
sudo emerge -auv dev-lang/python
sudo python-updater -pi
[perform manually the actions suggested by python-updater]
revdep-rebuild -p
[rebuild manually the packages revdep-rebuild complains about]
sudo emerge -av --prune dev-lang/python
revdep-rebuild -p
[rebuild manually the packages revdep-rebuild complains about]
|
Right? |

Yes, by the way, why use sudo ? You are not using Ubuntu here  |

I read somewhere that sudo encourages a safer behavior. If you use just su, laziness makes you work as root all the time. People execute as root commands that don't need root permissions. |

Wrong.
I don't use sudo, and I'm not logged as root all the time. I'm pretty sure that most people on this forum who don't use sudo are not working everytime as root.
People using Gentoo know what they are doing. We don't need such "Ubuntu hacks" |

Well, I'm already used to sudo. In any case I think it is convenient, as it remembers my password for 5 minutes.
Back on topic, I upgraded python, removed the old version, and it seems that all is well.
Thank you. |

It works the other way as well, though; if you use sudo you may well find yourself using it for things you don't actually have to, simply because you're used to doing it.

| If you have any packages that uses the scons configuration system, you might run into this small problem when doing the python-updater. So just look over that thread, the solution is easy, just a bit surprising the first time you see it. |
