Actually that's probably the way to start this. I can put a version on |
| 52 |
install on the hardened overlay name it something like install-portage. |
| 53 |
It will *not* install over install, but install somewhere in the |
| 54 |
portage path where we now have install.py. Then we can test my patch |
| 55 |
against install. |
