Description Ken Tossell 2003-06-24 16:27:30 UTC
When the command ' FEATURES="noauto" ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-
4.3.0-r2.ebuild compile ' is performed, the ebuild runs a make-clean, erasing work done 
before. This is a bad place to have to start over, eh?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. FEATURES="noauto" ebuild /usr/portage/.../xfree-4.3.0-r2.ebuild compile

Actual Results:  
cleans the source root

Expected Results:  
finished compiling where it left off

well, this would require Imakefile/Makefile patches to the x source itself.  I'll maybe look into this at some point, but please forgive me for not prioritising this...  If, however, you can come up with a patch for it, that would help a lot.

You prob want to do:

  # FEATURES="noauto noclean" ebuild ....
