Hello /x/, I haven't started a thread over here in well over 2 years. This is a test to see if any threads mentioning the fake internet theory are still getting slid and filled with bots like they were a couple of years ago, if they are then I apologize in advance for the like 15 'how to summon a succubus' type slide threads that are about to simultaneously appear. Feel free to post information in here about the fake internet rabbithole.

This is fairly standard 'conservative configuration management' stuff.
The company I worked for, used to do that with everything. In fact, one of the ways that they archived versions, was to create a bootable external hard disk clone, of the entire development machine, and store that.
If you want to be absolutely sure that you have the complete building blocks, then you don't trust your package manager. Make local dupes of the packages, and integrate them into your own version control.

the first sentance does not follow the rest of it.
