What I find interesting/annoying is that my make.conf has to have 3 lines... PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" USE_PYTHON="2.7" ...as if it didn't hear me the first time. How difficult would it be to set up an eclass to tell portage that... if PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="pythonX_Y" PYTHON_TARGETS defaults to "${PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET}" USE_PYTHON defaults to "${PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET/_/.}" Over-ride the default if explicitly listed. Out of sheer curiousity, what circumstances are there where ordinary users would need differing values for these 3 items? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
