Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
One of my personal main "gripes" about the portage/ports/.srpm etc. |
| 4 |
setups, are that I can't "tune" the installation in a managed fashion, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
An example is flwm (Nothing against tadpol, thanx for the -r1 :) |
| 7 |
that have some interesting configuration changes that can only be made in |
| 8 |
the config.h file before compilation. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Now my wishlist for ebuilds etc. |
| 11 |
I'd like to have a interactive setup or step by step changes, |
| 12 |
ie. |
| 13 |
issue the standard installation (Let's see if it install by default) |
| 14 |
Then I'd like to ask it to extract the package, but to let me add some extra |
| 15 |
./configure options (Enable this or disable that), eg. I'd like to have a text |
| 16 |
console only xemacs, or I'd like to have xaw instead of lucid menus etc. etc. |
| 17 |
Then I'd like it to do the configure, and after that I'd like the possibility |
| 18 |
to vi some config.c for some changes in the system in the way *I* want it. |
| 19 |
Then let it do the compile & install. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Or am I missing a documentation page?? |
