1 hi all.
2
3 i would like to propose a global config.cache which should speed up
4 configure significantly.
5
6 it is possible to set cache_file in config.site
7 which would be obeyed if we
8 export CONFIG_SITE=/etc/config.site
9
10 or something like that.
11
12 the sandbox must allow writing to that file during src_compile.
13
14 then some extensive testing must be done if some ebuilds are broken:
15
16 like configure may detect library X (cached) but we uninstalled it.
17 this should never happen if all the dependencies were correct. but
18 i guess there are many ebuilds which are broken in that respect.
