man emerge, search on --noconfmem, or emerge --help. Both the usual |
| 10 |
places one looks for documentation on command line options for a Unix |
| 11 |
command cover it. That seems decent documentation to me, as I didn't |
| 12 |
remember what the option was either as I've never needed to use it, but I |
| 13 |
found it relatively quickly when I needed to, and had looked over the |
| 14 |
manpage before when learning about emerge and portage, so was aware the |
| 15 |
command existed if needed. |

While making this a feature so the user can change the default might be |
| 18 |
debatable, the stated purpose and default seem sensible to me. |

Meanwhile, if you want that for your default, it's simple enough to do |
| 21 |
with a shell alias, or using the new EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS var in make.conf. |
