Description Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-13 10:58:49 UTC
See the attached list for a brief summary of suggested changes, some of the information currently in the manual is deprecated, some other is plain wrong right now. 
I also added some extensions for issues that I see often in the forums or on IRC.

patch for portage-manual.xml

Here's a draft that tries to take into consideration all the points
raised by genone. Moreover, I couldn't help doing some other changes,
like cutting or rewording paragraphs for the sake of readibility (I
hope) and to avoid guide explosion.

The result is a definitely intrusive patch. I already feel the pain of
the translators if it is accepted ;)

Please take a look...

Date and version not touched.

I'll read the updated version and very probably commit it ASAP (i.e. before Jul-19).
All comments will be appreciated.

Committed. Thanks a lot for your quick upgrade.
