[gentoo-embedded] Feature request for qmerge

[Natanael Copa]

Hi,

I was looking at qmerge in portage-utils. It looks very promising.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but here we go.

I would like to have support for ROOT so you can install a package in a
different root:

  ROOT=/new_root qmerge uclibc busybox

I would also be nice to be able to install a tbz2 file without needing
the /var/tmp/portage/Packages file.

  ROOT=/new_root qmerge /path/to/mypackage-1.0.tbz2

Sorry if this is the wrong place for asking for it.

Thanks!

- Fetching via anoncvs.
The cvs module for gentoo-projects is mirrored. You may download a 
pretty recent copy using the following command. Note: that this is not 
the official cvs server but rather a mirror so it lags about a hour or 
so behind the real tree which is hosted on cvs.gentoo.org

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot -q co -R
gentoo-projects/portage-utils
