valerievonck Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Just a question, not wanting to start a discussion nor a flamewar. I have been a long time Gentoo user, and I am used to do everything to do with : /etc/portage/make.conf, I know that people are going to say, Funtoo != Gentoo, I could not agree more, it is fast & lean, just how an OS must be. A staff member said: you shouldn't put anything into make.conf. you need to sync again and there should be ego update to 1.1.3-r5 I respect his opinion, but why is Funtoo taken this approach (to move away from make.conf) or why I am not getting it, I am trying to understand and learn... If I do not set my makeopts, will Funtoo be able to determine my (virtual) cpu's? Just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Vinichenko Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 that quote was for not putting python targets entries into make.conf (by anything python related meant). Of course, you can put them, it's allowed, as well as adding any other system-wide settings. by default the make.conf is empty. valerievonck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerievonck Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Ok :) My misunderstanding, I thought you meant, leave the make.conf empty... :huh: My mistake, Thank you for the swift reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I use make.conf; I started to write it in 2010 using Gentoo; then I use it also if may be "redundant" about some use flags; and i've a lot of USE and ~ 2000 ebuilds installed. Cause i like to have as more as possible the status and configuration of my system under my eyes :) jhan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
