10 Are there any thoughts to support something more fine granular settings
11 than system and user?

13 What I'm after:
14 We are developing multiple source projects with multiple release
15 branches on the same host here. These projects do have some script to
16 set up the project specific environment. One os-user is working on
17 multiple projects or branches, entering a project's environment by
18 sourcing its environment script.
19
20 Naturally, these projects do have different requirements to - for
21 example - the java-vm version. The project admin needs to select the
22 java-vm on a per-project basis, and does want to use the system-vm as
23 fallback, never wants to use the user-vm.
24
25 With current eselect (and java-config-2), this would be something like
26 setting $HOME on the per-project basis - or not using java-config at
27 all.
28
29 Would it make sense to explicitly set the system-vm (whatever version it
30 is or will be changed to), while leaving it unset would fall back to the
31 user-vm?
32
33 More toughts?
34
35 Thanks!
