It probably doesn't, but since this thread has gotten slightly hot, I'll only insult myself here. I forget to add 1 a lot more than I should, and as a result my world file is probably full of pollution. This isn't to say I don't clean it out from time to time, but in theory people are just posting reminders to be sure you weren't forgetting yourself -- I know I'm guilty of it sometimes. On that note, I'd like to ask a question I was going to post or email about. Can I comment the world file. More interestingly, is there a way to pass portage a comment to stick in world above the package? This would be really damn useful. For example, sometimes I'm testing things, and I really do mean to install a package without oneshot. But I might be installing a bunch of things to try to get some third-party dependencies resolved, and later I don't need all them (or I'd like to know why I put it there!!). Thoughts? Regards, daid
