[Moderator note: split from the 15 year old topic resuming a emerge --emptytree system, which was last active in October 2005. -Hu]

- Copy /var/cache/edb/mtimedb to a safe location. I prefer root's home directory for this.
| Code: | | cp /var/cache/edb/mtimedb ~ |
- Emerge whatever package is needed. For example, those compile failures caused by "missing automake" will require emerge automake
- If the emerge missing-package-name completes safely without errors, move the backup copy of mtimedb back into position and overwrite the mtimedb that is already there.
| Code: | | mv ~/mtimedb /var/cache/edb |
Hope this will help someone save lots of time. It did for me.  |
This is not like --oneshot -1 ?) |

--oneshot is for /var/lib/portage/world. /var/cache/edb/mtimedb contains the calculated emerge list for --resume, there's no other way to preserve that across emerges.
If the resume list's already been lost, one workaround would be to manually reinstall packages older than a known date -
| Code: | | emerge --nodeps -1p $(cd $(portageq vdb_path); find -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -mtime +3 -printf '>=%P\n') |
