Description Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-28 09:53:00 UTC
As I'm doing a complete revision of the German portage manual I see also a need
of updating the English portage manual.  Vapier said he will do the changes, so
he is in Cc.

A lot of <path> are missing surrounding files and pathes.

Add short captions to the <pre>s.  Also add # <i>command</i> to commands.

The Option CURRENTFILE is described by ??? (three quotation marks) -- is it
still valid?

CVS is only accesable by SSH and not RSH.

Add a comment for setting another (local) rsync-mirror instead of
rsync://cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage

Add a comment about mirrorselect in the section Mirrors.

Add a comment about other mirrors when downloading a snapshot.

Update the behaviour of emerge --verbose (like the use with --verbose --pretend
for showing the package related USE-Varibles).

Add etcat to the list of gentoolkit commands

Vapier doesn't seem to say much, does he? :)
Will take care of it...

Sorry for all the patches, but for translators it's easier to know how the patch evolved. Anyway, all patches are succeeding.

Please review.

looks good so far -- thanks for your work :)  I think it could be commited to CVS.
