You can bootstrap over what you have. Additionally, if you save |
| 6 |
${EPREFIX}/var/lib/portage/world, you can copy it back once you reached |
| 7 |
the state where you emerge world and should get all your old packages |
| 8 |
back. |

Your config files should be protected. I can't currently think of |
| 11 |
anything that you even might loose, though this kind of statement should |
| 12 |
be normally be done carefully. ;) |

If you feel later the one or the other package has gone missing |
| 15 |
nevertheless, you can figure out which files do not belong to any |
| 16 |
package any more by doing the slow and ineffective command: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
find ${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage -type f | while read file; do equery b $file | grep '^[a-z]' >/dev/null || echo $file; done |
