Hi,
coming from rocklinux I noticed a minor little thing missing. Since the
options given to configure are mostly always the same, wouldn't it be
good to provide ebuild scripts with a $confopt variable that contains
"--host=${CHOST} --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info". This would make it easier to write new
packages without having to write these options over and over again.
Just a little idea,
Geert Bevin
