Easier Gentoo system maintenance
This is a set of commands to simplify maintaining a Gentoo system.
esync
This command needs eix installed to fully function. It runs eix-sync. This is intended for use as a cron job. I use it daily.
This command can run layman -S for you if you pass -l or --run-layman.
emerges
This command will do the following:
- Update Portage
- Update
@worldwith options--with-bdeps=y,--update,--deep,--newuse - Update live installations of packages (
@live-rebuild) - Run
emerge @preserved-rebuild - Run
systemctl daemon-reexec(if applicable) - Update the kernel
There are flags to disable most parts of this functionality, such as --no-upgrade-kernel. Pass --help to see all the options.
Automatic kernel update process
The automatic kernel update will only work if there are 2 kernels displayed with the command eselect --brief kernel list. The first one in the list must be the active kernel. The second one is the one to upgrade to. After switching to the new kernel, a .config must exist in /usr/src/linux or the command will not run make. If the configuration exists at /proc/config.gz it will be used.
If emerges fails to build the kernel because of the state of eselect kernel list, you can fix it and re-run the update by running upgrade-kernel.
The old kernel data in /boot will be stored in /root/.upkeep/old-kernels.
Only GRUB (grub2-mkconfig) and Dracut are supported for the kernel update. There is currently no way to skip Dracut or GRUB. Valid configurations must be present in /etc.
If you want to only rebuild the kernel, run rebuild-kernel.
ecleans
This command will run the following commands (or equivalents):
emerge --depcleanemerge @preserved-rebuildrevdep-rebuildeclean-dist --deeprm -fR /var/tmp/portage/*
