Yeah, that is certainly one approach. Part of me thinks that |
| 13 |
modularizing the initramfs portion would be ideal, and as Benda |
| 14 |
suggested making it possible to install the built sources might be |
| 15 |
useful (if doing so one would need to patch the file that points to |
| 16 |
the build location so that future module builds can find them). This |
| 17 |
particular ebuild uses sources in /usr/src but I think it would be |
| 18 |
cleaner to just fetch these into the build directory. |

The package I find most frustrating is zfs-kmod, because it needs |
| 21 |
fully-built sources and not just prepared sources. I build to a |
| 22 |
tmpfs, and re-creating prepared sources using that approach is |
| 23 |
trivial, but doing a full rebuild just to update zfs modules is a bit |
| 24 |
painful (granted, less so now that I have 12 cores). I've been too |
| 25 |
lazy to figure out why zfs needs them... |
