15 Thank you very much. Progress. I've managed to get portage-3.0.26-r6
16 built. My package.use currently has...
17
18 sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify python_targets_python3_8
19 dev-python/setuptool python_targets_python3_8
20 dev-python/setuptools python_targets_python3_8
21 dev-python/certifi python_targets_python3_8
22 dev-python/setuptools_scm python_targets_python3_8
23 dev-python/toml python_targets_python3_8
24
25 Can I remove the python flags now or should I do a world update first?
