Mike, for my own education (well, mostly), could you clarify why putting the copy of the appropriate files from /etc/skel -> /root into the ebuild that creates them but tying that special action to USE=build isn't an acceptable solution? You've said that it would mean a special case for each ebuild that puts things into /etc/skel, but I believe we're talking about one or two ebuilds here, and, besides, isn't the ebuild the appropriate place for that sort of expertise to reside, or at least, not an inappropriate place? - John -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
