Hi,
Here are three of four INSTALL_MASK updates I've sent long time ago
which were not really reviewed. The fourth patch added support
for repo-defined install-mask.conf and I'll do that separately.
Those patches focus on smaller changes. What they change, in order:
1. Removes explicit file removal code for FEATURES=no*. Instead, those
values are converted into additional INSTALL_MASK entries
and handled directly via INSTALL_MASK processing.
2. Rework INSTALL_MASK to filter files while installing instead of
pre-stripping them. In other words, before: INSTALL_MASK removes
files from ${D} before merge. After: ${D} contains all the files,
Portage just skip INSTALL_MASK-ed stuff, verbosely indicating that.
3. Adds support for exclusions in INSTALL_MASK. In other words, you
can do stuff like:
INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/locale -/usr/share/locale/en_US"
I have been using this via user patches since the last submission.
Guessing by 'git log', this means almost 2 years now.
