just did emerge sync and it tells me I should update portage -- from r19
to r20 -- and update ALL of [my] configuration files. Should I emerge
portage everytime there's a new version? Are these config files of which

1.Doing an 'Emerge sync' once a day should be enough.
2.I usually update portage when ever there is a new version.
3.Yes the config files do get updated when you do etc-update.
4. No, you do not need to do an emerge sync after updating portage.
5.I usually do an 'emerge world' when I do 'emerge
I feel it's best to keep updated. I ususally emerge sync once/day.
Then I do emerge -uDp for system and world to see what it wants to
update. If I like the list I let it do it, otherwise I pick and choose
which ones to update. As for updating all config files you run

Hi there
It seems that I misundestood something about emerge usage.
Let's say if I need to set custom ./configure options for some ebuild, I

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
