Sorry, must've been the fever and cold I've been having for the last |
| 11 |
couple of days. But true, fever or no fever, always check my typing, |
| 12 |
someone off the Intertubes might offer you some clever equivalent of |
| 13 |
"rm -rf /"! :D |

One thing to remember is that portage devs are probably ingenious and |
| 16 |
lazy (in the positive sense), so they probably do things in a similar |
| 17 |
way under /usr/portage and /etc/portage. This gives hints of the |
| 18 |
correct paths and file names, maybe even the syntaxes (although in |
| 19 |
this case the -dvdnav was a bit unexpected and illogical IMHO). |

Of course, /usr/portage has those different sub-directories for, e.g., |
| 22 |
base and many different platforms, but you can keep /etc/portage |
| 23 |
"flat". Or this is just my deduction after running Gentoo for 5-6 |
| 24 |
years, I haven't actually touched the python code much and probably |
| 25 |
not pushed the configurations too far either. |

I'm very happy if someone points out a "typo" in my logic here -- I'm |
| 28 |
sure a little embarrassment early on will save plenty of my time in |
| 29 |
the future! :D |
