Crazy idea: |
| 13 |
* introduce a change that makes portage look at a new filename for |
| 14 |
inheritance, i.e. existing "parent" files are disregarded and a new filename |
| 15 |
is introduced ("inherits" ?) |
| 16 |
* in most dirs that file will not exist -> no inheritance |
| 17 |
* new profile specs will have new main directories that pull in the resulting |
| 18 |
flat structure piece by piece |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This means that existing files can (carefully) be re-used in the transition. |
