Bug 453006 – profile.eselect should set symlink in $PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT/etc/portage/

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Hristo Venev 2013-01-19 16:33:13 UTC]

It puts the symlink in $ROOT/etc/portage/ instead of in $PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT/etc/portage/

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Ulrich Müller 2013-01-19 18:31:00 UTC]

Portage team, what is the right thing to do? So far, the module uses ${EROOT}. Should it switch to ${PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT} or $(portageq envvar PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT)? Is an additional ${EPREFIX} needed to accomodate Prefix?

Please advise.

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2013-01-19 18:44:38 UTC]

$(portageq envvar PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT) is good.

The default PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT value is equal to ${EPREFIX%/}/. Portage searchs ${PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT}/etc/portage/ for make.profile and stuff.
