Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted April 19, 2018 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Hi All, The Funtoo Linux 1.2 release is now available for use. Many of us are now running Funtoo Linux 1.2. Here's how to upgrade your system to Funtoo Linux 1.2. Note that soon, 1.2 will be the "default" version of Funtoo Linux. For now, you need to perform certain steps to switch over. We're doing this so that power users can switch over right away, and so we can make things a lot easier for less-experienced users to upgrade to Funtoo Linux 1.2. One of the features I have been working on behind-the-scenes is an "easy upgrade" functionality for ego, to perform big updates automatically. This functionality is not yet ready, but is being worked on. When this "easy upgrade" functionality is ready, 1.2 will be released via "easy upgrade" to systems who have not yet upgraded. For now, power users can upgrade by performing the following steps. First, select the new kits in your /etc/ego.conf: [kits] core-kit = 1.2-prime security-kit = 1.2-prime kde-kit = 5.12-prime media-kit = 1.2-prime java-kit = 1.2-prime ruby-kit = 1.2-prime haskell-kit = 1.2-prime lisp-scheme-kit = 1.2-prime lang-kit = 1.2-prime dev-kit = 1.2-prime desktop-kit = 1.2-prime Then, perform the following steps, as root: # ego sync This will activate the new kits. Now, if you have a /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo symlink, remove it: # rm /etc/portage/repos.conf/funtoo Next, # emerge -u1 gcc This will upgrade gcc. Next, # emerge -u1 glibc libnsl libtirpc rpcsvc-proto Glibc will now be upgraded. Next, # emerge -auDN @system This will upgrade your core system set of packages. Next, # emerge -auDN @world This will upgrade all other packages. Next, # emerge @preserved-rebuild This will rebuild packages that are linked to old libraries. Now, final step: # revdep-rebuild --library 'libstdc++.so.6' -- --exclude sys-devel/gcc This will rebuild all remaining packages that need to be linked against the new libstdc++. At this point, you are now upgraded to Funtoo Linux 1.2! Please report any bugs to https://bugs.funtoo.org and let us know of any issues you experience, either as part of the upgrade, related to dependencies, or related to functionality on your upgraded system.
