Description Łukasz Michalik 2011-02-18 18:06:31 UTC

I would make keeping linkage in binaries correct a lot easier.  DISABLE_PRESERVE_OLD_LIB=yes in the env or such.

I do something like:

% cat /etc/portage/bashrc 
preserve_old_lib() {
        einfo "Overriding preserve_old_lib because it is useless"
}

I assume it is working as I want, but haven't actually verified.

Comment 2 Łukasz Michalik 2011-02-18 18:23:34 UTC

Thought about it too, but bashrc is way too early to be able to overwrite an eclass.

Nope, it works. I just verified with the dev-portage team. :)

That is exactly what I mean.  Sorry for not finding it before.
