It would be really nice to have a variable that can be set in make.conf
that turns on package building for all packages.

Drobbins has a better idea.  Put EMERGE_OPTS="" in /etc/make.conf and have it
passed to emerge automatically.  Example EMERGE_OPTS="--usepkg --buildpkg" would
make sure that emerge used binary packages if they exist, and make a binary
package if it isn't.

fixed on cvs (EMERGE_OPTS now supported)

Comment 3 Todd Wright 2002-05-05 15:49:47 UTC

Is this documented anywhere? 
It doesnt seem to be in make.conf (as an example)
