yes, but thats exactly what portage and rsync also can handle ;) |

yes, but what about after a emerge --sync ?!?! - the problem with |
| 22 |
working with "outdated" portage trees is - despite that you dont have |
| 23 |
all the bugs fixed - that the .tgz's become unavailable after some |
| 24 |
time .... thats why i want to stay "tuned" ... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
furthermore updating a 2 year old gentoo system could be very time |
| 27 |
consuming .... thats also a reason why i want to stay up to date ... and |
| 28 |
i doubt that catalyst really supports this in a better way than plain |
| 29 |
portage does ... at least the reusability of the components is no plus |
| 30 |
than either ... |

yup ... what about "config-protect" - can this be "mis"used for such a |

function ?!?! |
