Sure we do.. |
| 14 |
User symlinks his/her make.profile to the right cascading profile in |
| 15 |
../../usr/portage/profiles/${profile_name} then fills his/her |
| 16 |
/etc/portage/virtuals with all the fun files he/she wants to swapped out |
| 17 |
for what the profiles/${profile_name}/arch/.. would provide. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
This combined with a user supplied overlay can be quite powerful for |
| 20 |
rapid deployment and allow for alot of custom build scenarios. |
