i was trying to figure out why my frickin ebuild wasnt working properly and i traced it back to the fact i was using a variable (BUILDDIR) which portage used itself, and the whole thing was gettin whacky there's really no reason for ebuilds to care about this variable since it basically resolves to: /var/tmp/portage/package-vers/ we have $D, $WORKDIR, and $T in order to acces subdirs if we could have BUILDDIR renamed, that'd be great ... making it 'read only' isnt an option because makefiles in packages sometimes use it heavily
Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
err, i fixed this in portage cvs HEAD but not the 2.0 branch because ferringb/jstubbs suggested i not screw around in the 2.0 branch too much
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
