Hi all!

i don't remember who was that wanted to make the backup of all packages.
Because i have cancelled the relative email.. but i have this script that
it privides to this!


#!/bin/bash
#
# script makes the backup of all packages installed on your system
# and save all into /usr/portage/packages/All/
#

# From man qpkd
# -----------
# qpkg is GenToolKit's "query package" tool, using it, you can find
packages
# owning files on your filesystem
#
# -I, Include only installed packages
# -nc, Don't use colors
#


# for all packages installed
for i in `qpkg -nc -v -I` ;
do
# check if not exist already package precompiled...
if [ ! -f /usr/portage/packages/All/`echo $i | sed
"s/^.*\///"`.tbz2 ]; then
# it makes the packages precompiled..
quickpkg =$i;
fi;
done

When i have to reinstall the system.. how and when i must restore all the
packages? We could make one script in order to make this..

Ciao

Valerio
