We should document what Portage does; but from the word 'backtrack' I |
| 17 |
think it tries with what it is given, and if it doesn't succeed it goes |
| 18 |
one step back and tries to do it with more. But how exactly that is |
| 19 |
implemented, I think only people like Zac and Arfrever can tell us; or |
| 20 |
we read through the relevant code ourselves. |
