Hi,
I want to cp -a /usr/portage to another partition to make room on /
When I will do this, all files of the portage directory will get
a new and nearly identical timestamp.
Will this hurt the packaging/compiling or "anything related to
administer gentoo"-thingy ?
Thank you very much in advance for any helpful reply ! :)
Keep hacking!

Won't cause any problems, since as mentioned by other posters, -a
implies -p. Even if it didn't, you wouldn't have problems because your
sync timestamp is contained in /usr/portage/timestamp.chk. As long as
the *contents* of this file are not modified, your syncs will be fine.
Other portage stuff does not use timestamps as far as I know (of files
in /usr/portage anyway).
