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, more about it can be found in the blog post and Gentoo Forums.
Usage
gentoo-update
is in GURU
overlay, and can be installed using emerge
:
emerge --ask app-admin/gentoo_update
Alternatively, it can be installed with pip in a virtual environment:
python -m venv gentoo_update
source gentoo_update/bin/activate
python -m pip install gentoo_update
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=y keep-going"
- Full system update, show elogs and news
gentoo-update --update-mode full --read-logs y --read-news y
- Reading last update report (currently only successful update report):
gentoo-update --report
The detailed explanation of command flags can be found in --help
.
Information on testing can be found in tests directory
