Bug 90136 – man emerge FILES section contains incorrect paths

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description brian 2005-04-23 08:46:26 UTC]

Summary says it all (mostly).  

man emerge lists the following file locations in the FILES section:

FILES
       /var/lib/portage/world
       /etc/make.conf
       /etc/dispatch-conf.conf
       /etc/make.profile/make.defaults
       /etc/make.profile/use.defaults
       /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc
       /etc/make.profile/virtuals

Where (at least) /var/lib/portage/world and /etc/make.profile/make.defaults and /etc/make.profile/use.defaults are not correct on my system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  man emerge looking for location of world file 
2.  try to find file
3.  don't profit

They are correct.

[Comment 2 brian 2005-04-23 08:50:55 UTC]

Yeah, I realized I goofed for the world file.  But make.defaults and use.defaults still are incorrect.

[Comment 3 Alec Warner (RETIRED) 2005-04-23 09:15:09 UTC]

Perhaps not well worded, profiles are now cascading, so your make.profile symlink might not have them, they are present earlier on in a parent profile.  IE settings are set in a parent, and extended through their children much like a graph/tree of settings, each adding/subtracting to the last.

yes, cascading profiles is covered more extensivly in `man portage`
