Hi,

did you read the first lines of this file ?

# WARNING: default set configuration, DO NOT CHANGE.
# If you want to change anything redefine the relevant section in
# /etc/portage/sets.conf. Any changes to this file will be lost on the next
# portage update, and configuration errors here might upset portage in
# unexpected ways.

Please make all the changes in /etc/portage/

regards,

Boris
