3 I implemented this some time ago. Have a look at bug #40127
4 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40127). It lets you do stuff like:
5
6 emerge --restore 10/03/2003-18:00
7
8 Unfortunately what with the portage rewrite it doesn't look like this will
9 get merged into mainstream portage. Have a look, it might be what you
10 want.
