The goal of these instructions is to provide Funtoo Linux users with a reliable, consistent set of instructions for upgrading Funtoo Linux from 1.3 to 1.4. Please assist in ensuring that these instructions are complete and guide users through any potential complications. Since this is a wiki, make changes to the page that are needed to make these instructions 100% reliable. Thank you!
Set Release and Sync
Use your favorite editor in /etc/ego.conf, set the release to 1.4:
/etc/ego.conf [global]
release = 1.4
Then, run ego sync:
root # ego sync
Set gfxcard mix-ins and VIDEO_CARDS
In Funtoo Linux 1.4, the VIDEO_CARDS make.conf setting has been updated. If you have enabled the workstation or desktop profile, then Intel integrated graphics as well as Radeon graphics will be automatically enabled. To enable NVIDIA graphics, either proprietary or Open Source, you'll want to add either the gfxcard-nvidia or gfxcard-nouveau mix-in to your profile. See make.conf/VIDEO_CARDS for more information on these changes.
Another important change for NVIDIA proprietary graphics users -- a new package nvidia-kernel-modules is now used to install the NVIDIA kernel modules. nvidia-drivers will only install the userland components. To emerge both, emerge nvidia-kernel-modules which will in turn pull in nvidia-drivers. This is set up this way because it is possible to set up an NVIDIA-accelerated container (see [LXD/GPU Acceleration]) that needs nvidia-drivers but not kernel modules.
Here is an example of how to add a mix-in to your profile:
root # epro mix-ins +gfxcard-nvidia === Enabled Profiles: === arch: x86-64bit build: current subarch: intel64-westmere flavor: desktop mix-ins: mediaformat-gfx-common mix-ins: gfxcard-nvidia >>> Set mix-in gfxcard-nvidia. Updating profiles at /etc/portage/make.profile/parent...
Upgrade Toolchain
Funtoo 1.4, gcc has been updated to 9.1.1 series by default, so lets take advantage of that, and also update binutils and glibc.
root # emerge -u1 gcc root # emerge -u1 binutils root # binutils-config -l root # binutils-config 3 (or whatever number corresponds to version 2.32) root # emerge -u1 glibc
Upgrade Perl
Perl has been updated to 5.28, and it is good to update this next:
{{console|body=
- ##i##emerge dev-lang/perl --jobs=3
- ##i##perl-cleaner --all
World Update
At this point, you should be all set to perform a world update:
root # emerge -auDN @world --jobs=3
Finishing Steps
The default Python interpreter in 1.4 is now 3.7, we need to select it:
root # eselect python set python3.7
Perl has been upgraded from 5.26.0 to 5.28.0. Most modules should have been upgraded and cleaned, but lets make sure by running perl-cleaner.
root # perl-cleaner --all
If your kernel was upgraded you may want to run boot update.
root # ego boot update
