The only solution I can think of, is to merge to a "duplicate ROOTDIR" |
| 9 |
like this (pseudo-code): |
| 10 |
mount -o bind / /mnt/dup |
| 11 |
ROOTDIR=/mnt/dup emerge {package} |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Like this, mounts under / aren't mounted under /mnt/dup (e.g. |
| 14 |
/mnt/dup/proc only contains .keep), so one can access the underlying |
| 15 |
filesystem. Problem with this is: if you have /usr on a different |
| 16 |
partition, you probably want to mount -o bind that as well, so you'll |
| 17 |
have to make a distinction between mounts of instalation directories, |
| 18 |
and mounts of run-time usage directories. |
