No, this it the wrong file. the file /var/lib/portage/world is THE world set, it contains all packages you emerged manually (and with --noreplace). The file /var/lib/portage/world_sets can contain the name of other sets that should be included into the world. > > box0 src # emerge --noreplace sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13 > !!! 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13' is not a valid package atom. > !!!
