I only found two vero old posts : one in the forum (from 2007 or something) and another in the intertube by a lost gentoo user. Anyone is aware of some new info about this? Thanks in advance for this. [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 410 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I made a little script to populate /var/db/pkg/cat/pkg, remain the specific files related to each pkg. I'm thinking of using ebuild helper with a little script which could decompress the tbz2 to D and then make ebuild merge again. I have the portage tree of the lost db/pkg. So it's doable.
