When I do an emerge --sync, various ebuilds are loaded onto my system,

determines which package version is to be used?

I assumed this was specified by the profile (e.g. 17.1), but I can't
find any version numbers in /etc/portage/make.profile/



I just tried using a wildcard with this equery module:

 (l)ist                  list package matching PKG

and got basically what I needed

    $ equery list \* | grep readline
    sys-libs/readline-7.0_p5-r1

Although, I'm still curious where that information is stored.
