I'm using portage to build a custom linux setup. This means that on my gentoo desktop I have a separate portage tree that contains all I need for a fresh system and a group of scripts that create a fresh linux system under a "chrooted" environment.
I want this separate tree to be as static as possible and I've used portage overlays for this. I'd like to go even further and keep a different portage setup: one for my desktop and the other for this chrooted system. I've been using wrapper scripts that override make.conf paths and variables, but I'd like to override settings like USER_CONFIG_PATH = "/etc/portage" PORTAGE_BASE_PATH = "/usr/lib/portage" MAKE_CONF_FILE = "/etc/make.conf" PROFILE_PATH = "/etc/make.profile" (from /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py) so that I can create a profile, categories and all sort of things without interfering with my desktop settings. Can this be done without changing portage.py directly? Thanks .a.c. -- Andrea Carpani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
