Hi
run "etc-update"
trivial updates will be handled automatically.
For you non-trivial updates, the utilities will show you a text based
menu to complete it..
It is well written in some gentoo docs. You can check it out if you need

How do you identify security updates?
I want to compile cvs to allow root commits. Last time I checked
there was a compile flag for that. If not it can be done by editing a
certain file in the src.
I'm aware of the reason why root commit is not ordinarily allowed but
none of it applies to me since I use cvs strictly as single user.

I think that's to be expected - as you point out noone else uses a
