Sorry for the snip, but all you said is valid only if: |
| 10 |
you remember to update portage _before_ an emerge --sync |
| 11 |
_and_ you are able to do it. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
basically what I did was to remove the old snapshot find an old snapshot |
| 14 |
but recent enough to have EAPI5 portage. |
| 15 |
yes some wget of some distfiles was needed but it made the whole thing |
| 16 |
possible. |

Alternatively build a completely new system and then switch is a |
| 19 |
possibility, |
| 20 |
nothing deadly but as said a simple copy of a january snapshot would |
| 21 |
have made some paths simpler |
