An easy way to find the closest config when merging a revision/version bump of the same package. There are probably some cleaner ways with portage foo. I see your point that it is a weak reason for symlinks to exist.

So clarifying by default the save_config will store it in normal $CATEGORY and allow the user to move it into under specific $CTARGET or $CHOST directory if that is their desire. > -mike -- Daniel Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Foundation
