Some block statements are enforced for modules packages to avoid +collisions. +However actions from users are required: @world set and package.use +changes. + +Temporary transition metapackages call for the appropriate USE flags, +but users still have to change their package.use and later they must +update their @world set to complete the transition before 2025-06-10 +(around three months from publication), after which these temporary +transition packages will be removed. + +As a reminder, there is a Wiki page for Certbot: +https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Let%27s_Encrypt + +Step by step: + +1. In /etc/portage/package.use: + +Add an entry for the modules of your choice based on the USE flags of +the new unified package. Example: + + app-crypt/certbot certbot-apache certbot-dns-rfc2136 + +If you wish to stick with stable you may stop here. The below steps +(skipping step 2) will be completed later once the unified package +stabilizes. Should you wish to complete the transition now: + +2. In /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords: (skip this step and continue +with step 3 if completing after the unified package stabilizes): + +Add a keyword entry for the new unified package. Example: + + ~app-crypt/certbot-3.2.0 ~amd64 + +3. Clean the old module packages out of your @world or other sets: + + emerge --ask --deselect app-crypt/acme app-crypt/certbot-apache \ + app-crypt/certbot-dns-cloudflare app-crypt/certbot-dns-desec \ + app-crypt/certbot-dns-dnsimple app-crypt/certbot-dns-nsone \ + app-crypt/certbot-dns-rfc2136 app-crypt/certbot-nginx + +4. Emerge or update app-crypt/certbot if necessary. This should remove +previous packages: + + emerge --verbose --ask --changed-use --noreplace app-crypt/certbot
