the man pages for portage and related need to be updated to inclue the new feature of 2.1
Which new FEATURE?
Created attachment 94580 [details, diff] portage.5 diff ran this with diff -a hope I'm filing this correctly

hmm... seems I didn't realise make.conf.5 was updated... I knew that it seemed the portage one wasn't updated... so I assumed that hadn't been either... still confcache is hardmasked so maybe it should include a warning or be removed from the file... and ELOG is still not documented there I'll try to put something together on that... unless you have reason not to. I might be missing something... going through this one thing at a time...
Comment on attachment 94580 [details, diff] portage.5 diff do not use `diff -a`, the output is useless ... use `diff -u`
confcache is in portage regardless of the status of the external package elog is being handled in Bug 116018 otherwise i dont see any other pending requests in this bug
Created attachment 94632 [details, diff] portage manpage diff portage.old mentioned in diff is the current manpage. sorry some of the bugs I had mentioned had been corrected and I didn't realise it. this feature mentioned gwn-20060512 is the focus of the bug Configuration improvements: Certain config files can now be made into directories, for easier management (for example, /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde, /etc/portage/package.unmask/xorg will be combined to make the old /etc/portage/package.unmask). /etc/portageitself can also be loaded from different locations, making certain tasks much simpler. I created a patch that handles everything but the last sentence. which I don't don't know how to do... but I assume that's something handled in the make.conf
ok, i've documented these new features in our portage(5) manpage ... thanks for the updated patch

This has been released in 2.1.1_pre5-r3.
