Hi, list.
I keep changes of my /etc with git and I would like to include
/var/lib/portage/world file into the repository.
Can I safely do:
mv /var/lib/portage/world /etc/portage
ln -s /etc/portage /var/lib/portage/world
Will portage update handle it properly?
Using hardlinks seems to be more cleaner way, but for some reason I
don't want to use it for this task.
Have a nice day! ;)
Actually it's much easier, I have two machines, both with /etc/world.
And it's a exact copy of /var/lib/portage/world, something in my
computers is doing this, and it isn't a (soft|hard)link :)

You have a funky cron somewhere? Are time stamps the same?
I don't have such a thing:
$ emerge -V
Portage 2.2.0_alpha3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.5,
glibc-2.11.2-r3, 2.6.36-ck x86_64)
$ ls -al /etc/world
ls: cannot access /etc/world: No such file or directory
I don't have one here and I run the latest portage. I don't recall ever
having one either.
