Description Duncan 2022-12-27 01:12:21 UTC
In the portage (5) manpage under repos.conf, volatile is listed at the tail end of sync-webrsync-verify-signature, instead of as its own separate entry. 

Additionally, for consistency the first line of the volatile entry should list possible values just as (for example) the sync-webrsync-verify-signature entry it follows does, presumably:

volatile = yes|no|true|false

(FWIW I started to file this bug saying it was missing, but did a manpage-global search and found it... not missing, but mislocated/misformatted under the previous entry so I missed it the first time.)

(And while you're there in the manpage, maybe take a look at the still repos.conf priority entry, which isn't far away, too, bug #744889 ?)

    portage(5): list volatile option as a separate entry
    
    The volatile option was hidden in the sync-webrsync-verify-signature
    entry. Add a separate entry for volatile, specifying its possible
    values in the portage(5) man page.
