I would like to request a way to do interactive installs, i.e., where the emerge would pause at each major install stage and allow me to make alterations if necessary...possibly changing install path, patch files, etc. without having to edit ebuilds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
use ebuild nameof.ebuild {unpack,compile,install,qmerge}
Yeah, I'm in the process of filing a bug report for that....I can get to the qmerge part, but than it gives errors. I was finally able to get the package installed correctly with some ebuild editing and am hesitant to mess with the install to reproduce the errors. I thought it would be nice to have an emerge switch that would walk through those stages, pausing after each. That way as long as emerge works, you could alter files without a problem.
