It is the same when starting from an empty default. IIUC, Portage |
| 25 |
does its lookup in the order make.globals, then make.defaults, |
| 26 |
then make.conf, so keeping the "-*" would have the advantage that it |
| 27 |
overrides the default of previous Portage versions. Otherwise, I don't |
| 28 |
see how "-* @FREE" (rather than "@FREE") could cause any harm. |
