I think an easier solution would be a portage rescue set of profiles. |
| 12 |
These would be minimal profiles not designed for actual use, but only |
| 13 |
for performing a portage update for those people that lag too far |
| 14 |
behind. The idea would be a very tiny profile, per arch, that is not |
| 15 |
cascaded. |
