Can anyone tell me if there's documentation that thoroughly outlines how portage works? This includes how it interacts with rsync and a mirror. I've found user guides but I want to know about the architecture setup of the software distribution system as well as what's going on in Portage under the hood. My end-goal is to understand both the security strengths and weaknesses of Portage.
I figure the devs would know best. I'll gladly read all the documentation - assuming I can find it. I've been Googling around quite a bit but it's still a jigsaw puzzle to me. Thanks, -John
