When in doubt, read the man page (make.conf(5)): |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
"[...] |
| 32 |
DESCRIPTION |
| 33 |
This file contains various variables that are used by Portage. Portage will check |
| 34 |
the currently-defined environment variables first for any settings. If no environ‐ |
| 35 |
ment settings are found, Portage then checks the make.conf files. Both |
| 36 |
/etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/make.conf are checked (if present), and settings |
| 37 |
from /etc/portage/make.conf will override settings from /etc/make.conf. [...]" |
