What exactly do you mean by that? What irritates me is that "by |
| 8 |
adding/removing packages". If you just want a list of all installed packages |
| 9 |
you can already get it. What I'd understand by snapshotting is really |
| 10 |
packaging a set of packages and their deps. Kind of a '-b' but after merging. |

Depends on your filesystem. With certain filesystems you could adjust the |
| 16 |
blocksize for /usr/portage/ to a smaller value (with a larger value |
| 17 |
for /usr/portage/distfiles of course) or use reiserfs with tail packing on. |
