Now to upgrade 1.4 container to next-release?

[bpaddock]

What is the procedure to upgrade a 1.4 container to next-release?

As it is hosting all my websites I don't really want to take it down to do a fresh install.
Not even sure how to do that on a container?

Hi @bpaddock  people have successfully upgraded but it is unsupported.  Please back up your system before proceeding!

We do not recommend upgrading 1.4-release to next in-place. These instructions exist for those who are interested in attempting this. It is highly recommended to install next-release as a fresh installation. Several users have reported complications during upgrade. It is more likely to work seamlessly on headless server systems and is not supported on desktops. Please back up your system before proceeding. If you proceed, you take full responsibility for the outcome and any problems encountered.

Thank you.

Because my system is already having issues I am moving to a new clean new container.

Only problem so far is the cerbot dependancy dev-python/parsedatetime is not in release-next and it is in the old portage.
Is there a procedure for such things to get it properly in release-next portage?
