I'm curious to know your approach to keeping your Gentoo box current
without it becoming a full-time job. I'm not talking about
maintaining servers - just your "daily driver", so to say.
How often do you sync with the current portage tree and compare it
your versions in "world"? Should one do this once a week? Once in
two weeks?
How often to you update major components, like Xorg, kernel, and
system tool chain? As soon as new things become available, or, say,
once a month or so?
The reason I ask is because I often don't have a lot of time to devote
to system administration on a regular basis but do want to keep my box
updated as much as possible. How do some of you non-developers
balance system administration with your "day job"?
For the home samba server I update about once a year. My room mate
updates the mythtv machine never. My vps instance with mail, web, etc
does an eix-sync and glsa-check once a week and then I maybe emerge
something once a month. I've been playing with Apache 2.2 lately which
has been updating pretty quickly the last few weeks, but that's a bit of
out of the ordinary.
