I'm not aware of any alternative solution that a) doesn't require additional run-time dependencies and b) doesn't slow down startup. We're not going to inconvenience 99% of users because of some unlikely scenarios. And users affected by points 1) to 3) can still override the location. Reconsidering this. (In reply to comment #1) > We're not going to inconvenience 99% of users because of some unlikely > scenarios. Actually, the vast majority of these 99% will have PORTDIR=/usr/portage so we can use this as well (it is used a default only). > And users affected by points 1) to 3) can still override the location. Which is also true if we stick to the upstream default which is /usr/portage. Therefore I've dropped PORTDIR from the ebuild now. |
