Anybody have a solution for dotfiles outside /home - eviltoast

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?

    @nyan Yes, always backup world if nothing else. How the hell’d I forget that!. I usually symlink it to /etc but then forget I did when updating backups. Worst case, I wind up with a slightly old world file if I need no rebuild.
