Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-10 20:54:30 UTC 
>=portage-2.2_pre6 installs make.globals in /usr/share/portage/config.
/etc/make.globals is a symlink to /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals, but somewhen in future portage ebuilds might stop installing /etc/make.globals, so eix should first try to read /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals and if it doesn't exist, then eix should read /etc/make.globals.
Comment 1 Martin Väth 2008-05-11 05:58:07 UTC 
Thanks. In current eix svn trunk (>=eix-0.12.5) MAKE_GLOBALS is introduced
which defaults to %{EPREFIX}/usr/share/portage/config/make.globals.
If this is a file, it is read instead of %{PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT}/etc/make.globals

Closing since eix-0.12.5 is in the tree now.
