Description Joe Fscken 2005-10-09 17:37:08 UTC 
LADSPA_PATH will not be concatenated when defined several times (as the handbook 
states), but it definitely needs this feature, as there are many ladspa plugins 
not in portage :-/
also i suspect there are way more variables discriminated.
it would be nice if the concatenation behaviour would be configurable somehow.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. LADSPA_PATH is defined in /etc/env.d/60ladspa
2. define it in eg. /etc/env.d/99zlocal
3. env-update && . /etc/profile

Actual Results:  
LADSPA_PATH contains only the last defined path


Expected Results:  
LADSPA_PATH should contain all defined paths as PATH and the many others also do

Maybe we could have settings in make.conf such as ENV_CONCAT_SPACE and
ENV_CONCAT_COLON.  They are currently hard coded inside
/usr/lib/portage/bin/env-update.sh.

This was implemented a while ago.

SPACE_SEPARATED and COLON_SEPARATED have been supported since 2.1.1-r1.  They're both space separated variables (supported directly in /etc/env.d/) that allow other variables to be added to these special groups.  See bug #146879.
