confusion between portage the package manager and portage the "gentoo" ebuild tree. So to follow the overlay naming rules for inclusion in the repositories.xml file, the directory name must be the same as the repo name. 2) There is another alternate location that you can define files to ignore locally without having to commit them to .gitignore. Consider .gitignore a global setting. There is another setting inside .git/info/exclude which is a local config file that will persist and not be affected by pulls. So please use that for local exclusions you want to add and not try to force them into a global .gitignore which is part of the repo. Something that seems to be hotly debated. ;) -- Brian Dolbec

I have just recently taken over lead of portage (an interim position) due to Zac stepping down and away.

n to rebuild itself during the stage2 run. Also the "--rebuild-if-new-ver gcc" only rebuilds gcc if it's deps are updated to new versions (likely breaking lib linkage), it is not unconditional. It is not as accurate as subslots, so may rebuild more often than possibly needed. But it is better than having unreliable stage builds, not knowing when they may break. -- Brian Dolbec
