if portage is already processing updates from the main gentoo-x86 tree in |
| 12 |
repos (that lack an updates/ dir) then i think it simplifies things to: |
| 13 |
- if updates/ exists in the repo and the attribute is not explicitly set, |
| 14 |
then default to "" instead of the value of "masters" and issue a warning |
| 15 |
telling the user to explicit set the attribute |
