Gentoo upgrade how to

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-807345.html 

1. sync portage tree(eix-sync is recommended)
Code:   
# eix-sync      

or
Code:   
# emerge --sync


2. upgrade whole system
Code:   
# emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps y --keep-going world       


3. make configuration file(s) up to date
Code:   
# etc-update    

or
Code:   
# dispatch-conf 


4. fix static library
Code:   
# lafilefixer --justfixit | grep -v skipping


5. uninstall useless packages
Code:   
# emerge -av --depclean 


6. Reverse dynamic library Dependency
Code:   
# revdep-rebuild        


7. clean source code of the old packages
Code:   
# eclean -d distfiles

/etc/portage/package.mask is the file, or a directory of files

that can be used to prevent certain packages from being installed. === 

  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/package.mask
  http://liyanrui.is-programmer.com/posts/1376.html
  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/zh_tw/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3

Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled

  • into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: 

emerge --ask --oneshot =openssl-2.0
   emerge --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y -a -uDN @world 

   emerge --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y -uDN @world

Broken orphaned files: No installed package was found for the following

     * /usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so
     revdep-rebuild --library '/usr/lib64/libpng14.so.14' --pretend * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild

portage - This does not look like a tar archive
