1 Hi,
2
3 the portage QA tests check if the installed files are world writable.
4 When the host filesystem for the prefix is configured to set the
5 permissions this way, portage waits 1 second after displaying an error
6 message for each installed file. This makes the prefix unusable of
7 course.
8
9 Attached trivial patch puts this check in an if statement depending on
10 an environment variable QA_SKIP_WRITABLE. Setting this in make.conf
11 makes prefix usable again.
