[gentoo-portage-dev] Specific build permanent environment

[Yannick Le Saint (kyncani)]

 Hi, first of all, i'd like to say how much i appreciate the goals of
portage-ng's rewrite :)

 That having said, i would like to be able to specify a specific build
environment for some packages, manually modifying the environment for
emerge is just not sufficient.

 May i propose a /etc/portage/portage.d directory, where i could create,
say a /etc/portage/portage.d/net-fs/samba/make.conf file which would
modify the normal build environment.

 for example, my /etc/portage/portage.d/net-fs/samba/make.conf file
would contain :

 USE="-ldap"

 this way i know that if samba gets upgraded, i won't have to recompile
it myself with USE="-samba" emerge ... samba.

 and maybe even a /etc/portage/portage.d/net-misc/jigdo/make.conf file
with :

 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

 so that if jigdo gets updated in ~x86 and i run x86 keywords (i do),
jigdo will get updated (portage would know that i build jigdo with
~x86).


 Yeah, that's it, with maybe some mechanism to provide slot-specific
informations, maybe ...

I believe there will be support for something like this is portage-2.0.50. You will be 
able to specify something like USE="X gtk gtk2 perl ldap (net-fs/samba -ldap)". I can't 
remember if that is the correct syntax, but you get the point.

 I meant i won't have to recompile it myself with USE="-ldap" emerge ...
samba of course. (just a typo).
