That should be doable globally using /etc/portage/bashrc or the like ( |
| 8 |
/etc/portage/profile/bashrc). For specific packages, it's doable using |
| 9 |
/etc/portage/env/cat-egory/<pkgname> files, altho that's not so well |
| 10 |
documented. |

In any of those cases, syntax is standard bash, so you get the full range |
| 13 |
of bash conditionals and scripting available to setup your environment as |
| 14 |
complicated as you wish. (However, it is my understanding that the |
| 15 |
/etc/portage/env files only get sourced for the bash/ebuild.sh side of |
| 16 |
portage, not for the python side, so stuff like depchecks and features |
| 17 |
that are dealt with on the python side, won't necessarily work as |
| 18 |
expected. Test it if in doubt... or put it in one of the bashrcs, with a |
| 19 |
conditional so it's only applied to the package in question.) |
