It would be enough, regularily burning not yet archived tarballs |
| 14 |
on an CD and collecting them in some box where they can be catched |

Since it's not an gentoo-specific task (all distros shipping binary |
| 19 |
packages have this problem), I would suggest doing this within the |

csdb-project I annonced lately (http://sourcefarm.metux.de/) |
