Subject: [gentoo-user] where are the version numbers of a profile stored?
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2020 19:31:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e7d8496e-8163-e58f-7a9a-37a79c3e60ea@web.de> (raw)

When I do an emerge --sync, various ebuilds are loaded onto my system,
co-existing with other ebuilds, possibly from the same package.  What
determines which package version is to be used?

I assumed this was specified by the profile (e.g. 17.1), but I can't
find any version numbers in /etc/portage/make.profile/
