hmm... looking over that patch again, the only EPREFIX dependent thing |
| 15 |
is, that i'm removing EPREFIX from the vartree class again :) so this |
| 16 |
should pretty much plain apply to main too, and simply work. you may |
| 17 |
want to rename READONLY_EPREFIX to READONLY_ROOT, but thats it :) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
the other stuff besides portage modification (baselayout patchery, etc. |
| 20 |
is prefix specific again, so all you'd need is the portage changes. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
if you will try it, please let me know if it worked :) with the attached |
| 23 |
patch "sed -i -e 's,READONLY_EPREFIX,READONLY_ROOT,g'", and applying to |
| 24 |
an installed /usr/lib/portage should enable you to do it. |
| 25 |
(backup /usr/lib/portage - i trust my work, but... we never know for |
| 26 |
sure :)) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
then add to make.conf: READONLY_ROOT=/my/other/root:DEPEND |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
i hope this is what you where looking for...! and i hope it doesn't |
| 31 |
somehow clash with the existing cross compile logic in portage regarding |
| 32 |
where to merge to... |
