Description rob holland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-10 05:03:58 UTC
It would be nice if the default PKGDIR was something like:

/packages/${CHOST}/

This would make it easier to build package for different arches as I can just do:

CHOST="foo" CFLAGS="bar" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} emerge -B thingy

Reproducible: Always

Plz, tell us what better solution you found. Might be interesting to adopt it on our local network as well.
