Dont edit anything inside of /usr/portage as it will get wiped out the next |
| 54 |
time you sync. |
| 55 |
If you want to unmask openrc and baselayout then use |
| 56 |
/etc/portage/package.unmask and /etc/portage/package.keywords. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Make sure you read the OpenRC migration guide or you risk severely hosing |
| 59 |
your system! |
