I've patch portage.py (VERSION="2.0.47-r10") and ebuild.sh to use a |
| 2 |
new variable in make.conf. The new variable is DISTDIRS="directory1 |
| 3 |
directory2 etc". |
| 4 |
The purpose of this is to allow people to have distfiles in multiple |
| 5 |
locations (ie. cdrom, nfs, etc). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
What happens: |
| 8 |
1. Look in DISTDIR for files (as normal) |
| 9 |
2. If not found, traverse through all directories in DISTDIRS looking |
| 10 |
for files. |
| 11 |
3. Set a new environment variable (DDIR) pointing to correct directory |
| 12 |
holding the files. |
| 13 |
4. ebuild.sh will use DDIR if set instead of DISTDIR. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Notes: |
| 16 |
1. I couldn't really figure out what the envirnoment variables A and |
| 17 |
AA were meant for. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2. I thought it best to avoid messing with the envirnoment variable |
| 20 |
DISTDIR to avoid confusion/problems (hence the new DDIR). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
3. How can I get the latest cvs copy of portage as I would assume |
| 23 |
people would want a diff against that. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This will need further testing/fixing as I've only spent a few hours |
| 26 |
on it and I'm a non-python user. |

Anyone doing something like this or anyone have any comments? |
