90% of the time I've broken a Gentoo install has involved etc-update and
admittedly myself doing something stupid.
I've since developed the habit of tarring the /etc directory before running
update.
So I was thinking it would be nice to have a -B option for etc-update which
creates /somewhere/logical/etc.tar.gz before running etc-update.
Of course this wouldn't be complete without a --restore option which
overwrites the existing /etc with the last created etc.tar.gz thus giving us
goofs a unlimited amount of chances to get it right.
Any thoughts?
