Changes: |
| 27 |
- added license name and license group name syntax |
| 28 |
- added note about overlay handling |
| 29 |
- added note about per-package overrides |
| 30 |
- replaced portage references with generic terms where applicable |
| 31 |
- renamed NON-INTERACTIVE to NON-MUST-HAVE-READ so even Brian |
| 32 |
understands its purpose now |
