That's what Portage does, it creates an environment file.

Portage has solved these problems, no need to solve hem again.

Eclasses aren't meant to be used like this, there will surely be some
|
| 18 |
trouble when going through with this; why take this meta approach if you
|
| 19 |
could rewrite the eclass itself instead and make it conform?

I don't think that this is the way we should cope with legacy code.
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This makes the situation even worse; this would ignore a specification,
|
| 29 |
re-implement something we already have in Portage and lead to code that
|
| 30 |
can't and shouldn't be re-used. I think time is better spent on making
|
| 31 |
it work with Portage than to waste time reinventing parts of Portage.
