I'm currently doing an "emerge -DUNe @system" on the restore of |
| 7 |
/usr/portage (typical PORTDIR) from prior to messing with things today. |

I've got multiple GB of git data. It looks like there are ~568 thousand |
| 10 |
commits between March 24th last year and now. Once that's good, and I'm |
| 11 |
back at a stable place, I'll try changing PORTDIR to be the git repo and |
| 12 |
telling git to switch to the commit that's from March 25th. Then I'll |
| 13 |
see if anything needs to be updated, doing so as necessary. Then I'll |
| 14 |
leap frog a week at a time seeing what needs to be updated, doing so as |
| 15 |
necessary. /Hopefully/ I can slowly walk forward. Time will tell. |

If I can slowly make my way forward in time via git commit points, I |
| 21 |
/think/ that I /should/ be able to deal with profile and / or compiler |
| 22 |
and / or glibc changes just like I would have X number of months ago. I |
| 23 |
/think/! |

I'd really rather not do that. I'm more likely to leave this system as |
| 29 |
it is and plan on upgrading it some time in '21. There's considerably |
| 30 |
more to it than I want to wholesale replace. |

Besides, wouldn't each of the incremental processes over the last year |
| 33 |
have been possible? ;-) |
