What's the use of EXTRA_ECONF and EXTRA_EINSTALL?
Right now, users can - replace the defaults: prefix, host, mandir, infodir, datadir, sysconfdir, localstatedir and datadir, infodir, localstatedir, mandir, sysconfir - add: anything that doesn't collide with additional arguments in the ebuild. So additional arguments in the ebuild have a higher priority then those in EXTRA_E*. Is it the way it should be or should this be change? Bug #38618 is about this. After this is clarified; there are ebuild not using econf() but calling configure directly. Wouldn't it be correct to add EXTRA_ECONF to configure (at the right point)? -- [email protected] mailing list
