this request is kind of vague at best what are you looking for exactly ? some mini guide to hold a users hand in getting the bare min done with portage ? a general maintenence guide would be really fun to write. i volunteer if the doc is wanted on that note, it sounds like a good idea to me. things like portage maintenence (--prune, --depclean, etc), clearing out useless files (/var/tmp/portage/* anyone?), disk maintenence... Assuming this is rather meant as a joke than an actual bugreport, i'd suggest posting it on the forums. Stuff like that is always welcome in the Gentoo Chat and OTW forums and keeps bugzilla clean. ;) If someone wants to write a general maintenance guide, that's fine, but make sure to put your asbestos suit on because maintaining a system differs from sysadmin to sysadmin. Plain users would run emerge --sync, emerge -uDN world, dispatch-conf and let the rest be. And if you want to put that in a separate guide, I'll smack you on the head with Xavier's catfish because this is already in the Gentoo Handbook, which seeing from #gentoo's traffic nobody reads anyway. |
