I'm really talking about= =20 portage. Scenario: I want to build up a separate build server for own made profiles. I'm providing own ebuilds depending on self defined enviroments. I want to use portage, to manage different profiles. So, I have to move the portage python scripts from /usr/portage, the symlin= ks=20 from /usr to somewhere else, and to redeclare all hardcoded path variables = in=20 the portage python source from e.g. /etc/make.conf to=20 /opt/company_standard/portage_dist/etc/make.conf. I'm not talking about ebuilds, because I'm provinding my own set of ebuilds= ,=20 specialised for several standard application enviroments. regards, \sh --Boundary-02=_pPvy+gL+DL7GPCN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+yvPpV8AnusWiV6wRAtRUAJ41LxHEpzx7IrdqdgEMvQq/IEo7xQCgnmAx wkP3dMU+bM367sg72bWkf4Y= =4+jv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_pPvy+gL+DL7GPCN--
