That's the profile. This is cascading. The start point is /etc/make.profile (check what the symlink points to) and downwards the path (in fact, according to the "parent" files, i.e. "base" is the most upward level atm.) to $PORTDIR/profiles in the "packages" files. Note that the rest is up to the dependencies. The profile is in fact a bunch of default settings, default masks and a default "system" package list. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
