portage-2.2
==================================
* 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:
- - 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).
