1 Hi,
2
3 is there a specific reason why we want to support dynamic variables
4 (ACCT_USER_$foo) at all?
5
6 Isn't package.env support enough, i.e. use ACCT_USER_ID from environment
7 if set (which we should detect and log, maybe this will require a
8 different namespace for the variables at all to be able to differentiate
9 between values set by acct-* ebuild and user override)?
10
11 Of course this won't allow something like `ACCT_USER_ID=42 emerge
12 <package which will pull in multiple acct-user/*>` but I am not sure if
13 this is an implementation goal.
