there's no /etc/portage/package.use

Postby spanishbizarro » Fri Aug 24, 2012 18:51

Hi. I'm using Sabayon 9 and I want to install the 1.3.1 version of qupzilla (the version in entropy is 1.1.8 ) and I'm following the wiki article about mixing entropy and portage, but in the /etc/portage folder, package.use is a folder, wich has a folder called "00-sabayon.package.use", which has a file of the same name. Is there where I should add the qupzilla package with the USE flags?

yuo can use 00-sabayon.package.use or your own <01-my_favourite_file.use inside that directory.

if you edit 00-sabayon.package.use when a portage upgrade is request by entropy it will be overwrite and you lost all changes

if you want you can remove /etc/portage/package.use directory and use the standard file /etc/portage/package.use

And if I use a 01-my_favourite_file.use, it will be overwritten too?
