* Portage now warns if an ebuild repository does not have a name, as several
new features in 2.2 make use of or require named repositories. The repository
name is stored in profiles/repo_name in each repository.
-* Package set support: There are several important notes regarding package
- sets:
- - setnames have to be prefixed with @ (exceptions: 'world' and 'system' can
- be used without the prefix)
- - they may currently only include simple and versioned atoms or other sets,
- use conditionals or any-of constructs aren't possible yet
- - sets can be referenced either in other file-based sets or as argument to
- emerge, but not in ebuilds, config files or other tools at this time.
- - packages won't be unmerged if they are referenced by an installed package
- set (with the exception of the world set, and installed being determined
- by the world_sets file).
-* "world" now includes separate "selected" and "system" sets, where the
- "selected" set includes packages listed in /var/lib/portage/world and nested
- sets that may be listed /var/lib/portage/world_sets.

+
+portage-2.1.11

+ /etc/portage/sets/ directory. Refer to the emerge(1) and portage(5) man
+ pages for more information.
+* The "selected" package set, which includes packages listed in
+ /var/lib/portage/world, has been extended to include nested sets that may
+ be listed /var/lib/portage/world_sets.
+
+portage-2.1.10.61
+==================================
+* FEATURES=config-protect-if-modified is now enabled by default. This causes
+ the CONFIG_PROTECT behavior to be skipped for files that have not been
+ modified since they were installed.
+
+portage-2.1.10.27
+==================================
+* FEATURES=fixpackages is now enabled unconditionally. Set --package-moves=n
+ in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS if you need to temporarily avoid package moves for
+ some reason.
+
+portage-2.1.10
+==================================
+* The emerge --autounmask option is now enabled by default. The
+ --autounmask-write option can be used to have config changes automatically
+ written to the appropriate files (respecting --ask and CONFIG_PROTECT). If
+ --autounmask behavior is not desired as the default behavior, then it can
+ be disabled by adding --autounmask=n to the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS variable in
+ make.conf. Refer to the emerge(1) man page for more information.
+
+portage-2.1.9
+==================================
+* The emerge "world" set now includes separate "selected" and "system" sets,
+ where the "selected" set includes packages listed in /var/lib/portage/world.
+* Package set names in emerge arguments have to be prefixed with @ (exceptions:
+ 'world' and 'system' can be used without the prefix).
* Configuration files now support atoms with wildcards inside the category and
package name parts of the atoms.
* The functionality of the autounmask program is emulated by the new emerge
--autounmask option, which outputs required configuration changes for
- package.keywords and package.use.
+ package.accept_keywords and package.use.
+* The new emerge --exclude option allows packages to be excluded from the
+ dependency resolution. Doing so might result in a fatal error. See the
+ emerge(1) man page for details.
+* Per-package environment variables can be set with the new package.env
+ configuration file in /etc/portage/. See the portage(5) man page for details.
+* Support for per-package bashrc files in /etc/portage/env. See the portage(5)
+ man page for details.
+* The package.keywords configuration file in /etc/portage/ is now deprecated.
+ Instead use the package.accept_keywords file which has the same format and
+ behavior. See the portage(5) man page for details.
+* FEATURES="fixlafiles" (enabled by default): Rewrites newly installed .la
+ files in the same way dev-util/lafilefixer does. Note that this won't fix
+ your installed .la files.
