I am going to begin work (soon) on implementing a system to monitor a |
2 |
given directory for file changes, additions, etc. and perform a |
3 |
user-defined action on the added/changed/etc file immediately. This |
4 |
system could theoretically be used in conjunction with a local CVS |
5 |
repository (a CVS mirror of /etc, for example) to provide the |
6 |
functionality you are looking for, I think. More details can be made |
7 |
available by request either to the list or on a per-person basis; |
8 |
whatever you guys (and girls) want. |

Aside from that, if the official portage dev team wants to include |
11 |
something like this backup system in future releases of portage (or |
12 |
portage-ng), I'm willing to take a shot at solving this problem. In the |
13 |
last few minutes several thoughts have already come to mind on how to |
14 |
solve this, but I'm still not sure if it's really desirable as a |
15 |
capability of emerge. Let me know, and I'll begin serious brainstorming. |
