From 96b053ac52fa37fdd61cbb76cb44dfb90fb49f86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zac Medico Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:28:51 -0700 Subject: Prefer /etc/portage/make.profile. This is the default location used by current versions of eselect profile, and will soon be the default location in stages. Since eselect profile generates a warning if both /etc/make.profile and /etc/portage/make.profile exist, the new default should be fairly safe (although eselect profile currently prefers /etc/make.profile when both exist). --- man/portage.5 | 20 ++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) (limited to 'man/portage.5') diff --git a/man/portage.5 b/man/portage.5 index fc36ddbec..49f8dcda0 100644 --- a/man/portage.5 +++ b/man/portage.5 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ If you are looking for information on how to emerge something, please see .BR make.conf (5) .fi .TP -\fB/etc/make.profile/\fR or \fB/etc/portage/make.profile/\fR +\fB/etc/portage/make.profile/\fR or \fB/etc/make.profile/\fR site\-specific overrides go in \fB/etc/portage/profile/\fR .nf deprecated @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ repos.conf package-specific bashrc files .TP .BR /etc/portage/profile/ -site-specific overrides of \fB/etc/make.profile/\fR +site-specific overrides of \fB/etc/portage/make.profile/\fR .TP .BR /etc/portage/sets/ user\-defined package sets @@ -201,18 +201,18 @@ More reading: The global custom settings for Portage.
