I'll confess I've often resorted back to a stage3, and simply installed |
12 |
packages from /var/lib/portage/world .. or you can be bold and copy it |
13 |
over, and see what breaks. But I am interested in the process you linked |
14 |
.. its just not very accessible without the older snapshots. Dunno |
15 |
whether there is a convenient way to "roll-back" gentoo, besides doing a |
16 |
git checkout of the tree, and progressively working back from a suitable |
17 |
snapshot .... |
