The package manager must define the following environment variables. Not all
variables are
-meaningful in all phases; variables that are not meaningful in a given phase
may be unset or set to
-any value. Ebuilds must not attempt to modify any of these variables, unless
otherwise specified.
+universally meaningful; variables that are not meaningful in a given phase or
in global scope may
+be unset or set to any value. Ebuilds must not attempt to modify any of these
variables, unless
+otherwise specified.
Because of their special meanings, these variables may not be preserved
consistently across all
phases as would normally happen due to environment saving (see
section~\ref{sec:ebuild-env-state}).
