A lot of ebuilds are written with the premise that the stuff goes into |
| 8 |
/usr, and have it hard coded. :( Even if portage starts supporting |
| 9 |
custom prefixes, a huge ebuild cleanup effort would be required, as |
| 10 |
far as I understand. |

I, too, would *love* to be able to be able to define a custom prefix |
| 13 |
when installing ebuilds. Among other things, this would make portage |
| 14 |
more portable. |

And portability of Portage would really be a big a great advantage for |
| 17 |
Gentoo as a project. Once the users of other distros start trying out |
| 18 |
portage, there would be a big influx of new Gentoo users, IMO. |

Hopefully that would be one of the features included in Portage 2... |
