I am not absolutely sure if this is a bug, but i really think so. /etc/portage/package.use and /etc/portage/package.keywords should be files. But on my box i now have: AMD64X2 stefan # ls -la /etc/portage/ insgesamt 48 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 3. Apr 21:27 . drwxr-xr-x 66 root root 4096 13. Apr 13:04 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9.

But I think that crossdev did something wrong. Thanks Stefan Salewski Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Not absolutely sure, maybe something like 2.crossdev -t avr --gcc 4.1.1 3. Actual Results: Creates directories package.mask and package.use Expected Results: Should add text lines to files package.mask and package.use
It absolutely doesn't matter, both works just fine. See man portage. NOTABUG.
