I looked around very quickly in $PORTDIR profiles and it seems to be that buildsyspkg uses packages *explicitly* in system - it.e. those listed in the profile/packages files. Python and openrc are not in those files as they depend on other stuff that is. So they are in system, just not in the packages files. We'd have to look into the code to verify if this is the case -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
