Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2022-01-09 16:04:34 UTC 
app-admin/eselect uses ROOT environmental variable.


Support for --root="${ROOT}" command-line option was added:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/eselect.git/commit/?id=285b2c59ed8234d1480012ca3020cbd4368a9d16
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/eselect.git/commit/?id=62501cdddf09cd92689fb5e8f87c4369fd636cf5


For convenience, eselect.eclass can be created:

IDEPEND=">=app-admin/eselect-1.4.19"

eselect() {
	command eselect --root="${ROOT}" "${@}"
}
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2022-06-13 08:41:12 UTC 
The --root option is available in eselect-1.4.20 which is stable on all archs.
