A simple way of doing this would be to provide an emergency portage |
| 9 |
download; a tarball that one could unpack over the live filesystem that |
| 10 |
puts a current stable portage in place. Since portage doesn't include |
| 11 |
target-specific binaries it doesn't vary from one system to another so |
| 12 |
one tarball is enuogh. It could be on an 'emergency recovery' page |
| 13 |
available from www.gentoo.org. |
