The portage man page explains it well. /etc/portage/ Any file in this directory that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file. If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be sorted in ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file. Example: /etc/portage/package.keywords/common /etc/portage/package.keywords/e17 /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde > Is this sort of like the sets thing which I am still > curious about? Not really, it's just an alternative way of organising the package.* data. -- Neil Bothwick Asking whether machines can think is like asking whether submarines can swim.
