Normally, when I'm about to update an important package, I back it up

Is there a way to tell emerge to do this on its own? That is, create
binary packages of every package that it is replacing?
Isn't it --buildpkg?
Unfortunately, no. --buildpkg only builds binary packages after they've
been replaced already. I want binary packages of the packages that are
being replaced instead.
It is probably easier/safer to just use FEATURES=buildpkg and then do
emerge -e world. From that point forward, you will have a binpkg for
every version of every package you ever install.
Thanks everyone, though this isn't what I need or want. I'll stick with
quickpkg.
