Something mentioned in the thread about installers inspired the |
| 2 |
additional following conversation fodder. What would be the "best" way |
| 3 |
to individually tailor Portage settings for specific packages? Somebody |
| 4 |
mentioned something about enabling USE="ssl" only for php, but leaving |
| 5 |
it disabled for everything else. Would it be better to do this all in |
| 6 |
one file, or in one file for each package so modified? |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
In the former case, it could be done with optional dependency strings in |
| 9 |
the make.conf variables. e.g. USE="-ssl >=dev-php/php-1.2.3:+ssl" This |
| 10 |
seems fairly simple to use, but would be a pain to implement (I think). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In the latter case, package.conf files in the PORTAGE_OVERLAY |
| 13 |
might be an option. e.g. USE="-ssl" in make.conf; USE="ssl" in |
| 14 |
$PORTAGE_OVERLAY/dev-php/php/package.conf. Somehow, I think we do not |
| 15 |
need another config file to remember. This also seems like a bug-farm. |

Any creative ideas? |
