Description Maik Schreiber 2002-06-25 09:25:50 UTC

Please add the path "/opt/jakarta/tomcat/conf" to CONFIG_PROTECT in
/etc/make.globals (this path is used by net-www/tomcat).

In Portage 2.0.18 and greater, you can use this modular approach to do it.  Add
an /etc/env.d/51tomcat file with this in it:

CONFIG_PROTECT="/opt/jakarta/tomcat/conf"

CONFIG_PROTECT is now incremental like USE, so old options won't get overwritten.
But the long-term solution is to get jakarta's config files in /etc/opt, which is
what the FHS tells us to do.  Maybe use a symlink and store jakarta config in
/etc/opt/tomcat/conf?  That's the best solution.

I think >=portage-2.0.18 should be added as a dependency then? That will have to
wait until an unmasked version of >=portage-2.0.18 is out then.
