Hey all,
I've seen this requested before (by myself as well), how do I request a feature for portage that might work something like...
emerge --newworld ./world-file-from-some-other-machine
So that it would make that world file it's new goal and try and merge everything in there? I'm not saying it would necessarily be easy but it would be useful if it could be done.
I don't think that's necessary "as a new feature". I think you just need to `emerge -U `cat ./OLD.world``
You might want to add the -e flag, and *definately* do a `-Uv --pretend` first to check your USE flags, but that's essentially it.
