1 Hi, list.
2 I keep changes of my /etc with git and I would like to include
3 /var/lib/portage/world file into the repository.
4
5 Can I safely do:
6
7 mv /var/lib/portage/world /etc/portage
8 ln -s /etc/portage /var/lib/portage/world
9
10 Will portage update handle it properly?
11 Using hardlinks seems to be more cleaner way, but for some reason I
12 don't want to use it for this task.
13
14 Have a nice day! ;)
