yes it does. When you emerge something, a copy of the ebuild is stored |
| 15 |
in /var/db/pkg/<category>/<nameofapp>/ |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
(if you want to 'rescue ebuilds of removed but installed packages, just copy |
| 18 |
them). |

a safe way: |
| 21 |
emerge --unmerge xmms (and xmms-plugins and accesoires) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
emerge --newuse --deep world |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
emerge playerofchoice |
