Description Michael R. Lawrence 2006-07-01 20:18:48 UTC
emerge --forceupdate # add option to get emerge to shut up and do upgrade 
Xorg x11 is one install the one and it locks out prune depclean clean unmerge etc
emerge x11 or etc still often/tends-to: stall<s> even often even under --newuse 

emerge --setrevdep # for the force above ( do pkgs and revdep-rebuild on auto)
emerge --file /root /downloads /url  # sometimes newer but stable ebuilds are avail on net before on gentoo  # file ====> /usr/portage/$cat/$subcat/$newpkgname  or /usr/local/portage ####  manual fetch warning (sunjava) ; svn cvs or pkg and diffs if applicalbe  
./confures n builds like normal and gets depends etc. 

xarch ===> adds to portage tree  ( --send-prompt >>ebuild@gentoo?) ~xarch ==> adds to unstable tree

 if applicable file.url to ebuilds IE source forge page etc 
emerge --update system/world  will get stable updates on packages.gentoo.org 
if not added yet gose to site based on ebuild and gets new ebuild files

 would be nice to add option to autoshare finds if stable etc to gentoo. in make.conf etc.
