why? make.conf is for "custom settings for Portage". Python ebuilds |
| 16 |
should solve this, preferably matching the slots of python being |
| 17 |
installed. |

Why a GLEP? The only thing you can do just now, is to make USE_PYTHON |
| 30 |
default to something people would expect, and to be properly documented, |
| 31 |
such that it turns up in search result somewhere at the top. (Last time |

I needed it, I couldn't find it any more.) |
