Something like this? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
root@smoker / # ls -al /etc/make.profile |
| 31 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 Dec 16 22:09 /etc/make.profile -> |
| 32 |
/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop/ |
| 33 |
root@smoker / # |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I would assume it uses what the make.profile is linked to. Correct? |
| 36 |
Thing is, is there some file supported in /etc/ that is user editable? |
| 37 |
If not, then it doesn't matter. If a user edits the file in |
| 38 |
/usr/portage, it will default back when re-syncing. |
