This is my thinking on why it may be different for different folks.
This first tho. I run emerge as root. I have not added my regular user
to the portage group. I have no memory of messing with the permissions
either.
I think that if you use a regular user to emerge some things, it gets
set to portage:portage or some mix of portage:root. If you always run
emerge as root, then you get root:root. It may be that this is only set
once or that it could be modified if you run as root then later on run
as a user.
For the record, mine is set to root:root. As mentioned above, I ALWAYS
run emerge as root.
Any one have thoughts on this?
