Can I just edit /var/lib/portage/world? Or do I need to do something else?
Ah, it just hit me.
root@fireball / # regenworld -h
This script regenerates the portage world file by checking the portage
logfile for all actions that you've done in the past. It ignores any
arguments except --help. It is recommended that you make a backup
of your existing world file (/var/lib/portage/world) before using
this tool.
root@fireball / #
I'll check that out.
I might add, I put the option -1 in my make.conf for emerge defaults
so that anytime I emerge something, it doesn't get added to the
world file. If I want to add something to the world file, I use
--select y to override the -1 in make.conf. It's so easy to forget
to add -1 and make a mess of the world file, I decided to set it so
I don't have to remember. You may want to consider this.
I'll consider that.
