I'm not sure that this one is particularly necessary, as the default |
| 31 |
location is not changing according to the package managers. It's only |
| 32 |
changing according to the stage files that ppl use to install. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Once the package managers roll out -expecting- that make.conf should |
| 35 |
be in /etc/portage/make.conf rather than /etc/make.conf, then yes this |
| 36 |
should absolutely occur. Right now (and reportedly for the forseeable |
| 37 |
future) that is not the case. |
