Wouldn't it be more obvious/simple to have an extra profile subdirectory |
11 |
containing package.use.mask and package.use.force? |
12 |

Maybe in combination with 'eselect profile' to be able to select multiple |
14 |
profiles [1], selecting both what /etc/make.profile pointed to as symlink |
15 |
as well as some /usr/portage/profile/unstable/$arch - to avoid the need |
16 |
for having an extra unstable/ subdir within each (selectable) profile dir. |

Actually, I do have an extra unstable/ subdir for each selectable profile |
19 |
here, besides an extra buildbot/ subdir too... |

As a side effect, this wouldn't affect EAPI in any way. |
