1 Hi, Gentoo.
2
3 Two questions about Portage whose ansers I haven't found in the fine
4 manuals:
5
6 1. Where is it specified what is in "system" in the same way that
7 "world" is in the file /var/lib/portage/world?
8
9 2. How does emerge know which mutt to build when I do "emerge mutt"?
10 There are three candidate files in /usr/portage/mail-client/mutt, e.g.
11 mutt-1.5.21-r1.ebuild.
12
13 Thanks!
