I see stuff in that subdirectory related to overlays I have enabled via |
| 9 |
layman, and ebuilds provided by those overlays, even when I'm _not_ |
| 10 |
using these ebuilds but the ebuilds for the same packages provided by |
| 11 |
gentoo itself. Or so I hope - for all such overlays I've masked */* and |
| 12 |
only unmasked the 1 or 2 particular packages I need, which aren't in |
| 13 |
gentoo. |

The true reason the directory bothers me is its permissions, and those |
| 16 |
of the files inside. They seem to be created as portage:portage, 0660. |
| 17 |
Why is root:root 0640 not good enough for them? Does that mean some |
| 18 |
part of portage runs setuid/setgid to the portage user/group? |
