um, these _are_ kept until you run # eclean packages unless i'm missing something ? so you can still emerge -K old-apps/package for an example, in my /usr/portage/packages/app-shells on my laptop i have # ls -lah total 6.8M drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Oct 14 21:02 . drwx------ 76 root root 4.0K Nov 17 10:51 .. -rw------- 1 root root 1.2M Sep 5 10:43 bash-4.2_p45.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Sep 26 20:52 bash-4.2_p48-r1.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Oct 1 14:33 bash-4.2_p50.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Oct 2 22:22 bash-4.2_p51.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Oct 6 10:09 bash-4.2_p52.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Oct 9 23:50 bash-4.2_p53.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.4K Oct 14 21:02 push-1.6.tbz2
