Hey all,
His experience is pretty interesting...
Does portage keep track of settings so that you don't have reconfigure
it everytime you do an upgrade of a package? In other words, if (for
example) I emerge apache and it reconfigured to serve webs from
/var/www/html, instead of /usr/local/htdocs/ would portage get updated
with that new information?
in fact apache is configured to serve from /var/www/localhost/htdocs,
although I understand users are encouraged to use a feature which
provides virtualised services.
I think you could make doubly sure that portage did not clobber your
files by adding the base directory to CONFIG_PROTECT in /etc/make.conf
Portage is pretty smart especially in comparison to other software
management tools (up2date, and mandrake update)...so I wouldn't be
surprised if it did.

Hello I just finished doing an emerge -uD world and portage updated
apache2 along with numerous other things. I was wondering why I could
not get my site working again till I realised that the upgrade process
completely wiped the directory that my web site was stored in. What I
don't understand is that the directory isn't even the default one that
apache uses. How did this happen? And to put the icing on the cake, I
did not have a backup, as I was planning on emerging a backup utility
once world was done.
