1 Hi all...
2
3 This is the output of "emerge --info" for the Gentoo box that I'm
4 still configuring - fresh install. I configured and compiled a
5 working version of the kernel, configured CFLAGS and USE flags, etc.
6 I also ran "emerge -eD system" and "emerge -eD world" and updated /etc
7 configs accordingly.
8
9 Now... Why are there multiple versions of java-config, autoconf, and
10 automake shown on my system? There could be other multi-version
11 packages... Is this normal for portage that is configured to
12 autoclean? If so, I find it rather interesting that packages would
13 depend on so many different versions of automake, for instance!
