Re: [gentoo-soc] Multiple Repository Support in Portage - Week 3

[Otávio Pontes]

I couldn't find in paludis documentation (nor in pkgcore) where should
go repository name when using useflags to emerge a package. In current
Portage you can use the Atom category/package-version:slot[useflags].
Should i place repository name after or before useflags? How is done
in paludis pkgcore? category/package-version:slot[useflags]::repo_name
or category/package-version:slot::repo_name[useflags]?

Thanks,
Otávio Pontes
