I made some patches[1] to do this years ago, I was told by the portage devs at the time (can't remember who) that they should probably be includes some time in the future. Maybe now is the time? 1: http://dev.gentoo.org/~port001/Patches/configure-ebuild.sh.patch http://dev.gentoo.org/~port001/Patches/configure-portage-py.patch (NOTE: these probably don't apply anymore, seeing as they were made in december 2003). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCzIYXefZ4eWAXRGIRAuNNAKCQHoEqZ/vsMiOORxt27veqar4gkQCfdFLT daFN7flKJXqo7eCEDfMYJGQ= =fhld -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
