Yes, but I'ld like to return to a tested sync. |
21 |
Perhaps I've been too concise ;) |
22 |
I have two Gentoo systems, "stable" and "testing". I'ld like to test a |
23 |
new sync in the "testing" system, and: |
24 |
a) if it does not work well to me, restore the previous working sync |
25 |
from the "stable" system, and wait for a new sync; |
26 |
b) if it works well, copy the working sync to the "stable" system. |
27 |
This is why I'm wondering if copying /usr/portage and /etc/conf.d |
28 |
would be enough. |
