To duplicate the same set of _installed_ packages it's $ emerge `cat /var/cache/edb/copy-of-world-from-other-machine`
I thought about doing it, but as a matter of fact it's a hardware downgrade, so the binaries won't run on the new (older) machine. If I just emerge all the packages the other machine, it will also replace glibc and gcc,that were just bootstraped. Isn't it dangerous?
No, it won't. glibc & gcc aren't in world - they're specified as part of the "system" or base-installation. This procedure should be safe, but make sure you run it as `emerge -pv `cat /var/cache/edb/copy-of-world-from-other-machine`` first, so you can check out packages USE dependencies first.
