This article lists some neat things you can do with Portage/emerge.
/etc/portage directory
This directory contains important configuration files for Portage.
- package.keywords lets you add keywords for individual packages.
- package.use lets you add local USE flags for certain packages. To add/remove certain languages, you can use expanded USE flags:
USE="linguas_en -linguas_fr"
Portage world file
It is located in /var/lib/portage/world.
emerge options
- --newuse will recompile packages that had their USE flags changed.
- --depclean will attempt to remove packages that are no longer needed as dependencies.
