[gentoo-dev] News item: World file handling changes in Portage-2.2

[Petteri Räty]

As per glep 42 (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0042.html) here is the required email for a new news item. This news item is important because otherwise users will be missing updates to the system set if they continue updating their system with the usual emerge --update --deep world. Unless objections come out the new news item will be committed at the same time as rc8 (rc8 will have an update man portage page describing world_sets).

As of Portage 2.2 the world set does not include the system
set any more. If you want emerge --update --deep @world to
update the system set too, you need to add @system to the new
world_sets file in /var/lib/portage/. For more information on
world_sets see man portage.
