1 Hi,
2
3 coming from rocklinux I noticed a minor little thing missing. Since the
4 options given to configure are mostly always the same, wouldn't it be
5 good to provide ebuild scripts with a $confopt variable that contains
6 "--host=${CHOST} --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
7 --infodir=/usr/share/info". This would make it easier to write new
8 packages without having to write these options over and over again.

10 Just a little idea,
