Interesting point, but might be difficult to accomplish in ebuild/image strucktures.

If not, this would probably only be workable for vanilla-sources. Unless prepatched tgz's were hosted for kernel images, as well. Patching during installation, or doing the installation during the "compiling" section, might solve this as well. This will not work in portage. There are many technical reasons this can't be done. The image directory is needed for things such as INSTALL_MASK and some FEATURES. Also, portage needs the image directory to track who owns what files. |
