Hello. |

A couple of weeks ago I filed a bug because in the Installation Handbook |
4 |
I found some references of the "world" set in emerge commands, as |
5 |
opposed to "@world": https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445184 |

|

The bug was closed as invalid, and I was told that: |
8 |
|
9 |
> sets with the @ prefix are a portage-2.2 feature, which is still hardmasked and thus not documented. |
10 |
|

The fact is that I have portage-2.1.11.37, not 2.2, and man emerge says: |
12 |
|
13 |
> When used as arguments to emerge sets have to be prefixed with @ to be recognized. |
14 |
|
15 |
One possibility is that documentation stick with the stable portage |
16 |
package, not the testing one (I have a ~amd64 system only). But I |
17 |
checked portage 2.1.11.31 (the latest stable amd64 portage package |
18 |
version) and the previous phrase is there, too. |

I know it's not a very important issue, but I'd still like to know if |
21 |
I'm wrong or not, and why. |

Thank you. |
