4 Hi,
5 Is there any other solution to the /etc/make.profile/package.provided
6 file? As we all know the /usr/portage/ dir gets wiped of custom files on
7 every sync. It seems kinda silly that there is a package.provided
8 solution but it gets wiped every time, so is there any other way to
9 accomplish the same thing on a more permanent term that I am not aware
10 of? The portage man page does not suggest anything else.
11 Thanks.
