Hi there,
I'm using gentoo Linux for three weeks now and do really like
the ports concept.
Installing lots of programmes from source myself, I'm using
stow to mange the programmes installed under /usr/local.
I've seen a machine that uses stow (or some similiar tool)
for *all* packages i.e. there are no files in /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/share
or elsewhere. Everything is just a symlink to <packagedir>/<packagename>/bin
and so on.
Now I wondered, if this is easy to implement using ebuild. I thought
it could be possible to look for "./configure"-statements in the ebuild-file
during compile-time and change the prefix given there to somewhat
like /usr/stow/<packagename> and call stow to create the symlinks afterwards.
Has someone ever thought about using this?
Jürgen
