Description Marek Zachara 2005-12-26 02:46:09 UTC

Every time i do emerge sync i find out that /etc/make.profile/package.provided is deleted. It is (in my case) a symbolic link to file elsewhere to avoid it being really deleted, but after each emerge sync i have to manually link it again, which is bit annoying.

This belongs to /etc/portage/profile, not /etc/make.profile/.

man portage:

<snip>
/etc/portage/profile/
site-specific overrides of /etc/make.profile/
</snip>

Right. I'd suggest however clearly stating this in the portage man page, because as of now it suggest using this place for storage of self-maintained packages.
