Thanks Paul. I hadn't thought of that and I think you're correct. I |
25 |
played a bit with changing profiles and then looking at what emerge |
26 |
-epv @system would or would not do. It's clearly related. |

In the end I wonder if this is a lost cause? If the packages I run |
29 |
really require these flags then they are all going to get built the |
30 |
same way. I'd prefer that @system was simple and that @world showed |
31 |
how I had changed the system to meet my needs, but I'm not sure it's |
32 |
worth the effort at this point to get there. |
