Subject: | [gentoo-portage-dev] can an overlay force a USE flag on a host? |

1 | In cont. to my prev. question |
2 | (http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/msg_9973fd6c12d7c2088457697f49ea2f5e.xml) |
3 | |
4 | Can I append use.force/package.use.force/package.use or similar to an |
5 | overlay, and by that control USE flags on the host? |
6 | |
7 | Though not necessarily related, I'm trying to resolve a broader issue: |
8 | whether it is possible to extend a profile via an overlay. |
9 | |
10 | I've read http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133740#c6. Also, I've |
11 | found http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Custom_Profiles which states how |
12 | custom profiles can be integrated into a system, yet with the caveat of |
13 | modifying local portage files (removing the symlink to the profile). I'd |
14 | appreciate to know if it's also possible to gain similar results w/o |
15 | touching files on the hosting portage setup. |
16 | |
17 | In a/m bug, the lack of documentation in this area is mentioned . I'm |
18 | wondering if this has changed since those comments were written, as I'm |
19 | confounded by bits and pieces I'm fishing out w/google. |
