Yes, but I'ld like to return to a tested sync. Perhaps I've been too concise ;) I have two Gentoo systems, "stable" and "testing". I'ld like to test a new sync in the "testing" system, and: a) if it does not work well to me, restore the previous working sync from the "stable" system, and wait for a new sync; b) if it works well, copy the working sync to the "stable" system. This is why I'm wondering if copying /usr/portage and /etc/conf.d would be enough. Sergio -- [email protected] mailing list
