Weird. The Gentoo wiki documents /etc/portage/package.env at... |
| 10 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Overriding_environment_variables_per_package |
| 11 |
for handling special cases like this. Not every package tests at |
| 12 |
runtime. Leaving sse4.1 enabled could result in other packages crashing |
| 13 |
with illegal instructions. I don't use chromium. But if I did, I'd use |
| 14 |
package.env to handle it as a special case. Chromium is plain weird |
| 15 |
anyways. A web browser should not require udev. |
