(And if that's not a feature that's currently in sandbox, it's one where an extension of which is being discussed in -dev right now, and being worked on by a few people.) The other thing sandbox gives you is some protection from badly-written build systems, such as ones which go out and modify files outside of explicitly-allowed paths and the like, or try installing files before 'make install'...that kind of thing. -- :wq
I see. Actually I came up with this question because dev-lang/php was emitting some errors when I was building with sandbox enabled (I never disabled it actually). I guess I'll enable it again and disable when some ebuilds trouble.
