Subject: [gentoo-user] Two portage questions
Date: Sat, 14 May 2011 10:31:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110514103109.GA3053@acm.acm> (raw)
Hi, Gentoo.
Two questions about Portage whose ansers I haven't found in the fine
manuals:
1. Where is it specified what is in "system" in the same way that
"world" is in the file /var/lib/portage/world?
2. How does emerge know which mutt to build when I do "emerge mutt"?
There are three candidate files in /usr/portage/mail-client/mutt, e.g.
mutt-1.5.21-r1.ebuild.
Thanks!
