Gentoo Linux updater
Project description
Gentoo Updater
gentoo-update is a tool that automates updates on Gentoo Linux.
By default it only installs security updates from GLSA,
but it can also be used to update all packages on the system. i.e. @world.
This project originates from 2023 Google Summer of Code.
Usage
gentoo-update is in GURU
overlay, and can be installed using emerge:
emerge --ask app-admin/gentoo_update
Alternatively, updater can be installed with pip:
pip install gentoo_update --break-system-packages
The updater creates a subdirectory in Portage's default PORTAGE_LOGDIR located at /var/log/portage/gentoo-update.
However, if this variable is set to a different value in make.conf, it will use the new location instead of the default.
Here are some usage examples:
- Basic security update
gentoo-update
- Full system update with extra update parameters
gentoo-update --update-mode full --args color=n
- Full system update, show elogs and news
gentoo-update --update-mode full --read-logs y --read-news y
The detailed explanation of command flags can be found in --help.
Information on testing can be found in tests directory
