Description: # Easier Gentoo system maintenance
        
        This is a set of commands to simplify maintaining a Gentoo system.
        
        ## esync
        
        This command needs `eix` installed to fully function. It runs `eix-sync`. This is intended for use as a cron job. I use it daily.
        
        This command can run `layman -S` for you if you pass `-l` or `--run-layman`.
        
        ## emerges
        
        This command will do the following:
        
        * Update Portage
        * Update `@world` with options `--with-bdeps=y`, `--update`, `--deep`, `--newuse`
        * Update live installations of packages (`@live-rebuild`)
        * Run `emerge @preserved-rebuild`
        * Run `systemctl daemon-reexec` (if applicable)
        * Update the kernel
        
        There are flags to disable most parts of this functionality, such as `--no-upgrade-kernel`. Pass `--help` to see all the options.
        
        ### Automatic kernel update process
        
        The automatic kernel update will only work if there are 2 kernels displayed with the command `eselect --brief kernel list`. The first one in the list must be the active kernel. The second one is the one to upgrade to. After switching to the new kernel, a `.config` must exist in `/usr/src/linux` or the command will not run `make`. If the configuration exists at `/proc/config.gz` it will be used.
        
        If `emerges` fails to build the kernel because of the state of `eselect kernel list`, you can fix it and re-run the update by running `upgrade-kernel`.
        
        The old kernel data in `/boot` will be stored in `/root/.upkeep/old-kernels`.
        
        Only GRUB (`grub-mkconfig`) and Dracut are supported for the kernel update. There is currently no way to skip Dracut or GRUB. Valid configurations must be present in `/etc`.
        
        If you want to only rebuild the kernel, run `rebuild-kernel`.
        
        ## ecleans
        
        This command will run the following commands (or equivalents):
        
        * `emerge --depclean`
        * `emerge @preserved-rebuild`
        * `revdep-rebuild`
        * `eclean-dist --deep`
        * `rm -fR /var/tmp/portage/*`
