Hi All, ego-2.2.0 has been released, and is an important update, and will be appearing in meta-repo soon. New functionality has been added to help you view kit configuration. To view your current kit settings, type: # ego kit status This will display your current kit settings, as well as their stability level. The stability level is set by Funtoo and lets you know if you are running something we consider 'stable' or not. We recommend that all our users use kits that have a 'prime' stability level. Note that this is different than the kit having 'prime' in its name! When I create a kit, I may call it 1.1-prime if the goal is to make it production-quality, but the moment it is created, it is still considered 'dev' (developers only) status. Type "man ego-kit" for more information on this. It is now also possible to view a similar listing, but one that displays ALL available kits and their stability levels, by typing: # ego kit list This new release of ego also includes a host of other improvements, such as improvements to the "ego doc" MediaWiki parser. Enjoy, Daniel

Hey all, welcome to the new forums! Our old forum software has been upgraded to the latest version and I'm going to be working hard to help make this a really great resource for everyone. Our "Funtoo Universe" section is set up in a traditional forum style, and "Help Central" is now in a Q&A-style mode. Let me know how you like the Q&A style mode. Both sets of forums allow you to tag posts as being answered and we have the ability to flag the best answer.

Found it! The trick is "# emerge -auDN --newrepo @world". The '--newrepo' option is crucial. Update 19 Oct 2017: The command above works for more than 1000 packages I have installed, except the qt* packages. For these stubborn qt* packages I had to do the following: emerge -Cav "dev-qt/qt*" * This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use * `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before * removing packages. >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: dev-qt/qtsql selected: 5.9.2 protected: none omitted: none dev-qt/qtx11extras selected: 5.7.1 protected: none omitted: none ... truncated for clarity ... dev-qt/qtprintsupport selected: 5.7.1 protected: none omitted: none All selected packages: =dev-qt/qtwidgets-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.7 =dev-qt/qtcore-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtwebchannel-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qtpositioning-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtopengl-4.8.7 =dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.7-r2 =dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.7.1-r2 =dev-qt/qtgui-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qtsql-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtprintsupport-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qtdeclarative-5.7.1 = dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtdbus-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtsvg-4.8.7 =dev-qt/qtopengl-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qtxml-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qttranslations-4.8.7 =dev-qt/qtdbus-4.8.7 =dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20170803 =dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qttest-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtnetwork-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtsvg-5.7.1 =dev-qt/qtscript-4.8.7 =dev-qt/qtconcu rrent-5.9.2 =dev-qt/qtx11extras-5.7.1 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
