4 Hy everybody,
5
6 can you please tell me if there is some way to set the install directory
7 of an ebuild globally without changing the ebuild?
8 Let me clarify:
9 I want a few packages to not be merged under / directly but rather to be
10 located under /something/*.
11 I understand that the ebuilds contain directives of where to install the
12 files through src_install(). However I don't believe it would be a good
13 idea to edit ebuilds manually since it would lead to breakages during
14 emerge --sync.
15 So is there some file I can edit to change the install directory for a
16 certain package?
17 For example like setting
18 wireshark /wifi
19 firefox /stuff
20 baselayout /
21 (this is just a rough sketch of what I'm looking for.)
22
23 All help would be greatly appreciated!
24
25 Many Greetings
26 Paul
