While on this topic, I have a question about glibc. I have it set in
make.conf to save the binary packages. Generally I use it when I need
to go back shortly after a upgrade, usually Firefox or something.
However, this package is different since going back a version isn't a
good idea. My question tho, what if one does go back a version using
those saved binary packages? Has anyone ever did it and it work or
did
it and it fail miserably?
I've tried to binary emerge my previous version. This didn't succeed
since
the ebuild disallows downgrading glibc.
Luckily I had backuped my system just 20 hours ago.
Does anybody know how to restore ONLY those files which are
more recent on the target file system.
(My whole back is 124 Gb large which is a lot to copy back)
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
