Recursive pkgmerge will work in 1.0_rc4_pre3. We have a mostly-working |
| 10 |
recursive pkgmerge on the latest CVS version of Portage, but it requires |
| 11 |
packages to be organized in category sub-directories (right now, they're in a |
| 12 |
single "all" directory). We will also very likely have a slight |
| 13 |
backwards-compatible change to the package format in 1.0_rc4_pre3 to make |
| 14 |
recursive pkgmerge workable. |

So, we're working on it; please stay tuned :) |
