Since bug #73350 got into portage-2.1_pre10, it would be nice if the feature would be documented accordingly in the man-pages.
Created attachment 85941 [details, diff] emerge.1.patch
Bah, sorry; that was the wrong alias :|
hrmm zmedico commited the PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT= patch. iggy filed the bug CONFIGROOT= bug. Just wondering why/how this one got assigned to me. I'm more than happy to commit it. Would not mind however it being a semi hidden feature for the moment so those of us that know about it can do proper testing.
Results from testing seem good. reassigning to portage team
Thanks for the patch. This is in svn r3361.
This has been released in 2.1_rc1-r3.
