Probably a better a reference is [1]. I'm not sure why you don't think he |
| 16 |
wants the ROOT var. Also ${D} isn't where it's going to be installed to (in |
| 17 |
the ebuild qmerge sense - see `man ebuild'). It's where the image is going to |
| 18 |
be installed (the ebuild install sense - again see `man ebuild`). Also it's a |
| 19 |
var to be used internally in the ebuild only (which I assume you know). If I |
| 20 |
am correct about what he wants then the point is that there is no need to |
| 21 |
edit the ebuild file (otherwise it's a bug). |
