Based on solar's excellent bashrc, I've added a few things. |
23 |
Per-package/category FEATURES, arbitrary environment settings |
24 |
per-package/category (not sure how useful this would be, but I figured |
25 |
I'd go ahead and add it anyway), and category-wide USE flags. Hope |
26 |
someone finds this as useful as I found solar's :). |
