|
|
I have three fairly old installs (all routinely updated), but back when they were installed make.conf resided in /etc. Seems make.conf is assumed to be in /etc/portage nowadays. 3 Qs:
1) Should I just move my make.conf files into /etc/portage?
2) Is it that simple?
3) Are/were there other changes made to basic layout back when that (/etc/make.conf --> /etc/portage/make.conf) move occurred that I should also make?
Hoping to get my ducks in a row before the profile upgrades.
thanks,
-mark
Edit to add:
I punted on the move because the man page for make.conf says both are valid, _and_ there exists also a link /etc/make.profile --> {some profile stuff} that doesn't exist in /etc/portage -- maybe make.conf and make.profile need to exist in same place, I don't know. Old locations are still valid so maybe move things around long after this profile update is my thinking, if at all.
Also, I have neither binutils.conf nor binrepos.conf.
thanks for help.

@grknight,
Googling binutils.conf is empty here,
Any entry point?

Maybe he meant binrepos.conf. _________________
