You mean the S in |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r2 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
? |

It stands for "Slot" (actually, SLOT). So [ NS ] stands for New SLOT. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Meaning that multiple versions of the same package can be installed |
| 25 |
without conflicting with each other, because they are in different SLOTs. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
In this case, it means that one compile can call for automake-1.8.5 and |
| 28 |
use that specifically, another can just call for 'automake' and use the |
| 29 |
latest version (1.9.something), if it wants, because both are on the |
| 30 |
system and can coexist happily. |
