I have created a slightly modified version of my previous patch that introduces an environment variable called USER_OVERRIDES (as a replacement for /etc/portage/includes). If USER_OVERRIDES is unset then it defaults to /etc/portage (traditional behavior). With this variable you can set a space separated list of directories (if you leave out /etc/portage then it will _not_ be included). |

The functionality that this new USER_OVERRIDES variable introduces is somewhat like a "source" command, but it applies to directories (and is easier to implement). Directories listed later in the variable will override earlier ones. |
