1 Hi, first of all, i'd like to say how much i appreciate the goals of
2 portage-ng's rewrite :)
3
4 That having said, i would like to be able to specify a specific build
5 environment for some packages, manually modifying the environment for
6 emerge is just not sufficient.
7
8 May i propose a /etc/portage/portage.d directory, where i could create,
9 say a /etc/portage/portage.d/net-fs/samba/make.conf file which would
10 modify the normal build environment.
11
12 for example, my /etc/portage/portage.d/net-fs/samba/make.conf file
13 would contain :
14
15 USE="-ldap"
16
17 this way i know that if samba gets upgraded, i won't have to recompile
18 it myself with USE="-samba" emerge ... samba.
19
20 and maybe even a /etc/portage/portage.d/net-misc/jigdo/make.conf file
21 with :
22
23 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
24
25 so that if jigdo gets updated in ~x86 and i run x86 keywords (i do),
26 jigdo will get updated (portage would know that i build jigdo with
27 ~x86).
28
29
30 Yeah, that's it, with maybe some mechanism to provide slot-specific
31 informations, maybe ...
