What you could do is always make a backup of all packages when they are |
11 |
installed with FEATURES=buildpkg. When you uninstall them, the last backup you |
12 |
made it already there. |

If you keep the backups reasonably pruned, total size will be approximately |
15 |
the size of /usr and /opt together. |

Or, you could just habitually quickpkg and package you think you might want to |
18 |
keep before you unmerge it. |
