Luckily it's just a hypothetical question... I haven't accidentally deleted it or anything. The reason I ask is, I'm wondering if it's safe to 'chattr +d /usr/portage' to prevent the portage directory being backed up on my daily backup scripts... it would save a fair amount of space... I just want to make sure that it's still easy to recover from if I do so. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
