Hi there, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm using gentoo Linux for three weeks now and do really like |
4 |
the ports concept. |
5 |
|
6 |
Installing lots of programmes from source myself, I'm using |
7 |
stow to mange the programmes installed under /usr/local. |
8 |
|
9 |
I've seen a machine that uses stow (or some similiar tool) |
10 |
for *all* packages i.e. there are no files in /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/share |
11 |
or elsewhere. Everything is just a symlink to <packagedir>/<packagename>/bin |
12 |
and so on. |
13 |
|
14 |
Now I wondered, if this is easy to implement using ebuild. I thought |
15 |
it could be possible to look for "./configure"-statements in the ebuild-file |
16 |
during compile-time and change the prefix given there to somewhat |
17 |
like /usr/stow/<packagename> and call stow to create the symlinks afterwards. |
18 |
|
19 |
Has someone ever thought about using this? |
