4 Hi everyone,
5
6 Bug #161045 [1] requests that portage support RESTRICT=sandbox.
7 This is certainly a valid request but a user may wish to reject a
8 package based on certain questionable values of RESTRICT. Examples
9 other than sandbox incude unattended [2] and userpriv [3].
10
11 I suggest that we add support for a new incremental variable called
12 ACCEPT_RESTRICT so that a user can accept or reject restrictions.
13 Much like package.keywords, we can also have a package.restrict file
14 located in /etc/portage for per-package settings. Thoughts?
