ESCM_DISTDIR (defaulting to PORTAGE_ACTUAL_DISTDIR/PORTDIR) Reasonable idea... The standard note here every time source control comes up, however, is=20 that SCM is ambiguous, conflicting with scheme (the language). VCS=20 (version control system) seems to be the preferred alternative. I'll let the various VCS eclass using devs worry about the details... --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
