Ok guys... sounds like I should have posted my excludes before I started |
| 2 |
this. |

Do you think it's safe to ctrl-C out of rdiff-backup (it's not even |
| 5 |
halfway through /usr/portage/distfiles)? And, if so, should I exclude |
| 6 |
everything under /usr/portage or just the distfiles directory? |
| 7 |
|

That way, I can change my script back to including /var/db too. |

PS: just as a side question, should I have multiple version distfiles |
| 13 |
for the same package? Isn't there some way to keep that just to the most |
| 14 |
recent version? |
