1 Hi
2
3 In hacking a few .ebuild, i noticed that most .ebuilds have paths to
4 where Gnome, Mozilla, etc is hardcoded ?!?
5
6 Now I know that it is not everyday that they change, but since the base
7 location for many packages will be changed now, cant it be done
8 correctly this time ? In other words rather use defined variables that
9 should be defined when the base package is installed (like KDEDIR,
10 MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME, etc) since the base package should already have been
11 merged when you get to subpackages ....
12
13 Some suggestions/reasons would be appreciated.
