Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-06-05 08:22:58 UTC 
we like to run eclean pessimistically even when PKGDIR doesn't exist.  but this leads to an error:
!!! Error accessing PKGDIR.
!!! (Check your /etc/make.conf and environment).
!!! Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/build/butterfly/packages/'

can we swallow ENOENT errors ?  or maybe add a command line flag to permit this ?

I think a command line option makes sense in this case, with the default to be the current behavior.

vapier:
If the CROS project happens to write that before any of us does, feel free to commit it to the gentoolkit repo.
Comment 2 Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-10-19 21:24:25 UTC 
Command line option -i, --ignore-failure added to ignore the missing PKGDIR error.
