Of course you'll need a database (but not in /etc!). It might |
| 17 |
be /var/db/pkg or separate one, that is an implementation detail which |
| 18 |
I am not able to tell without knowledge of portage implementation. |

Besides there is such database now - it is your (abused) package.use! |
| 21 |
You have to manually add entries to it and I do not know any database |
| 22 |
slower than human typing to a text file ;-) (There is autounmask option |
| 23 |
of course but then you allow portage to mess with your files which is |
| 24 |
not a good thing.) |
