12 No. The new default is now /var/lib/portage. Check your
13 /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf if you're in doubt about where

19 What kind of updates would that be? You never update world, it is a
20 registry of what packages you have installed, generally, not a
21 specific version. A set would be the same.
