'''Portage''' is a [[package management system]] used by [[Gentoo Linux]], based on the concept of [[ports collection]]s. Gentoo is sometimes referred to as a ''meta-distribution'' due to the extreme flexibility of Portage, which makes it [[operating system|operating-system]]-independent.<ref>[http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/about.xml Gentoo Linux - About Gentoo<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://tom.acrewoods.net/writi(contracted; show full)Packages with known problems or not considered mature enough to be candidates for stable are ''hard masked'' by one of the various package.mask files in /usr/portage/profiles, and such entries are generally accompanied by a comment from developers explaining the reason for the mask.
