[gentoo-dev] Environment variable ROOT and make.conf file

[Vitaly Ivanov]

Hello Dear All

Gentoo Portage always use /etc/make.conf
even if ROOT variable defined to other then '/'
Is it right?

May be
if anyone specify ROOT=/mnt/gentoo
portage myst use
/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf
instead
/etc/make.conf
or use some environment variable
to specify alternative make.conf file

Look at:
file: /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py
line 949: # XXX: Should depend on root?
line 950: self.mygcfg=getconfig("/"+MAKE_CONF_FILE)

Thanks.
