It sounds like you want to build a complete system backup and recovery |
| 18 |
solution into portage, which IMO is way beyond the scope of a package |
| 19 |
manager. |
| 20 |
Now AFAIK saviour can support multiple modular vdb backends, so you |
| 21 |
might be able to plug such a system into it, but a) that is a rather |
| 22 |
long time ahead and b) noone inside the portage team will probably work |
| 23 |
on such a feature, so you'll have to write that code yourself. |
| 24 |
Note that I'm not questioning the gain of this, just that it won't get |
| 25 |
done by us. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 33 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
