[gentoo-catalyst] Setting make.conf variables

[gentoo-catalyst] Setting make.conf variables

[Dustin C. Hatch]

I am curious what the correct way to set Portage/make.conf variables, 
besides USE, for building stages is. In particular, I'd like to know how 
to set FEATURES, MAKEOPTS, and EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS. I've tried setting 
them in /etc/catalyst/catalystrc, but that has the nasty side effect of 
negating entries in portage_confdir/env. Is there a better way to set these?

Regards,

like this:

export EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="$(portageq envvar EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS) --jobs"

you call in the current values and append.

- -Zero

Okay, but that still doesn't solve the problem of environment variables 
overriding the per-package settings in /etc/portage/env. I need this 
because there are a couple of packages that refuse to build with 
MAKEOPTS other than -j1 or if FEATURES includes distcc. I don't want to 
have to disable those things to build the whole system, just those 
couple of packages.
