Re: [gentoo-user] Preventing portage from rewriting world file?

[Windpaw]

Use extended attributes on your filesystem and set the 'sticky bit' 
which prevents even root from altering or changing the file in question?

Hi,
is there a way to prevent the emerge command from rewriting the world 
file located in /var/lib/portage?
Everytime I use emerge the world file gets rewritten and all comments 
and the structure is thrown away.
It would be nice if emerge just parses this file and appends a new line 
when a new package is recorded.
