Description Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-08-06 09:34:54 UTC
Created attachment 408386 [details, diff]
add usr/local to checked paths

Would be nice to catch unhandled buildsystem PREFIX=/usr/local defaults.

Thanks

mgorny suggested to place the test inside 

   /usr/portage/metadata/install-qa-check.d

which I can agree. Users would still be able to write inside /usr/local using overlay ebuilds (for whatever reason).
