Glus

Gentoo Linux update system

Keep your gentoo linux up to date, update security problems daily and check that everything is correct.

Features

Unify all processes to update the gentoo system periodically to keep it up to date with the latest security patches, portage, base system or full system.
Check the system to repair programs with broken libraries.
Update perl packages.
Solve problems with upgrade python from older versions, error: no python-exec wrapper executable found ( https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1109544-start-0.html )

Prerequisites

perl-cleaner (app-admin/perl-cleaner)

Find & rebuild packages and Perl header files broken due to a perl upgrade.
revdep-rebuild (app-portage/gentoolkit)

Scans libraries and binaries for missing shared library dependencies and attempts to fix them by re-emerging those broken binaries and shared libraries. It is useful when an upgraded package breaks other software packages that are dependent upon the upgraded package.

Send mail for alerts and notifications.
