That's consistent with overall portage behavior (environment |
| 20 |
variables override those specified in config files), which is good. |
| 21 |
I've already written my own version of your --config-root patch and |
| 22 |
hopefully I'll commit support for both of your features later today. |

Even though I personally added PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT support to |
| 25 |
portage, I haven't used it much myself. I'm glad that someone |
| 26 |
having practical experience with this feature has come along to |
| 27 |
suggest these improvements. Thanks again. |
