on gentoo for example I have accrued a few files under /etc/portage that to my knowledge just have to live there…
right now I basically rely on my backups for this. but maybe somebody knows a clever way to handle this?

Maybe etckeeper fits your use case? It’s specifically built for managing
/etcfiles with version control systems. I can’t say much about it since I’ve never used it, though.I’m replying here because I think yours is the right answer (etckeeper), but for other readers I want to note that for Arch Linux in particular, an alternative is aconfmgr.
