+ <title>Default Sets</title>
+ <para>
+ By default, Portage already creates a few default sets that can be used
+ without further configuration. See <xref linkend='config-set-locations'/>
+ and <xref linkend='config-set-syntax'/> for details on how to change those
+ defaults.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The default sets are:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><varname>system</varname>: uses <classname>PackagesSystemSet</classname></listitem>
+ <listitem><varname>world</varname>: uses <classname>WorldSet</classname></listitem>
+ <listitem><varname>security</varname>: uses <classname>NewAffectedSet</classname> with default options</listitem>
+ <listitem><varname>everything</varname>: uses <classname>EverythingSet</classname></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ Additionally the default configuration includes a multi set section based on
+ the <classname>StaticFileSet</classname> defaults that creates a set for each
+ file in <filename>/etc/portage/sets</filename> for convenience.
+ </para>
