Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
Is there a way of installing packages in a different prefix while still |
4 |
using system packages? I've tried setting EPREFIX, however doing that |
5 |
will install all dependencies in the prefix, even if there are already |
6 |
installed in the system. |

|
8 |
I was hoping to install some packages in user directories, but I also |
9 |
don't want to duplicate the packages installed globally. For example, |
10 |
most packages eventually depend on gcc, which I definitely don't want to |
11 |
compile twice. So ideally, only dependencies that are not installed |
12 |
globally should be pulled in. |
13 |
|
14 |
I was not able to find a way of doing that, but I feel like it shouldn't |
15 |
be too hard, because EPREFIX almost does what I want. Does someone know |
16 |
if it's possible without too much tweaking? |

Thanks, |
