Hi, did you read the first lines of this file ? # WARNING: default set configuration, DO NOT CHANGE. # If you want to change anything redefine the relevant section in # /etc/portage/sets.conf. Any changes to this file will be lost on the next # portage update, and configuration errors here might upset portage in # unexpected ways.
