I think an easier solution would be a portage rescue set of profiles. These would be minimal profiles not designed for actual use, but only for performing a portage update for those people that lag too far behind. The idea would be a very tiny profile, per arch, that is not cascaded. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
