But what is config all about? On my other machine it looks like the file contains a bunch of hashes for config files in /etc/. Are these used to quickly see if a file in /etc/ is different or does it just do a diff?
It looks like the numbers I get when running "md5sum <filename>", at least for files that I have not modified or deleted. "man portage" mentions files that portage uses, but not /var/lib/portage/config. It is either because the file is not meant to be edited by the administrator or a documentation bug.
