5 | It's used to keep track of installation order. It's not really |
6 | relevant for anything unless you happen to have AUTOCLEAN=no set in |
7 | make.conf (see /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example). In this |
8 | case, it's needed for emerge --clean to know which package was most |
9 | recently installed within a given SLOT. |
