features in 2.2 make use of or require named repositories. The repository name

* Package set support: There are several important notes regarding package sets:
- - they may currently only include simple and versioned atom, use conditionals
- or any-of constructs aren't possible yet
+ - 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
- emerge makes no difference atm wether you pass a setname or all atoms contained
in the set to it, this means that without options packages will be remerged if
- already installed and added to the worldfile (exception: "world" and "system"
- are still handled specially), or in the case of --unmerge all atoms in a set
- will be unmerged even if they are depended upon by other packages
- - sets shadow packages with the same name
- - sets can not contain other sets
+ already installed and added to the worldfile, or in the case of --unmerge all
+ atoms in a set will be unmerged even if they are depended upon by other
+ packages
