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?

    Not a great solution, but my custom set of functions that synchronize the (dot)files just copy them over into a directory preserving their paths within it e.g. cp /etc/hosts ~/.sysbackups/$(hostname)/etc/hosts
