It isn't our primary objective to add or support scm builds via some ebuild. In fact the ebuild policy restricts addition of such ebuilds to the Gentoo repository. On the other hand, the requested functionality exists already: Let your preferred web search engine crawl for "portage bashrc" and you'll find some functionality to mess with ebuilds on the fly in the dirtiest possible ways. OK. Guess you get my point and I'm guessing this feature is still frowned upon. I hate dirty hacks. :-/ Just making some noise to make it easier for creating a build environment for hackers, bug fixers and software project owners. And enhancing the submission of patches with active testing. Currently, a person fixing one or two bugs, has to configure an entirely different build environment instead of being able to use ebuild (portage) ... or some other tool. Thanks for posting the tip as I randomly fix bugs (latest being an evolution svn fix). |
