Use an alias and it's less typing.
Or add it to make.conf. I think that would work too.
It would work, every time you called emerge, whether you wanted
that
option or not.I prefer to have aliases for commands with
options that I
call often, but not every time.
I'm not real familiar with aliases but know what it is. If you
use the
alias method, how would you disable it for a one time run?
Uh.. you don't "disable" it. You simply don't use the alias.
Oh, OK. <Dale waves hand over head.> If it is set up to add that
option, how do you tell it not to use it?
Unless I'm misunderstanding something...
It's not an "option". It's an alias. If you have
$ alias myalias="emerge --foo --bar --baz"
Then to use the alias you simply type
$ myalias
If you don't want to use the alias, well, don't type it. I.e.
$ emerge --la --di --dah
or
$ someotheralias
Or perhaps you don't aren't understanding what shell aliases are?
