<h1>general.conf</h1>
###PALUDISENVIRONMENTONLY###
<p>The <code>general.conf</code> file can be used to control general settings. It is a standard key=value configuration
file, and may optionally be in bash format.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>world</code></dt>
<dd>The location of the world file (e.g. <code>world=${root}/var/db/paludis/repositories/installed/world</code>).</dd>
<dt><code>reduced_username</code></dt>
<dd>If set, Paludis will use this username rather than <code>paludisbuild</code> when a reduced privilege user is
required.</dd>
<dt><code>distribution</code></dt>
<dd>If set, overrides the distribution used when distribution-specific defaults are used.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The following keys are predefined. They should not be modified.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>root</code></dt>
<dd>The filesystem root. Relevant if <code>specpath.conf</code> is in use. Using this variable can create a
configuration system that works both inside and outside of a chroot (e.g. <code>world =
${root}/var/db/pkg/world</code>).</dd>
