Just throwing random thoughts here, but |

Would a rescue-portage help on this ? |
| 8 |
|

What I'm meaning is a "binary" portage provided for each ARCH (that |
| 10 |
install in /opt), it MUST be easily downloadable from every user. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
May be portage in case of hard fail could do that automatically issueing |
| 13 |
a message like: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* OOPS, could not include module X this mean portage system is utterly |
| 16 |
broken. |
| 17 |
* would you try to download a rescue portage? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The rescue-portage does not need to be a fully functional portage, it |
| 20 |
need only to be able to install a newer portage and it's direct |
| 21 |
dependancies. |
