Hi all

Scenario: I'm developing yet another bootstrapping process for whatever reason. Let's say the project needs some changes made to user.eclass. I make the changes, set eclass-overrides, do my test bootstrapping run, build all the packages.

Then on the binclient, it turns out something needs more work and I have to change user.eclass some more.

Do I now always have to rebuild all the packages to get the new changes to user.eclass included? I'd really like to just ignore the environment file coming with the binpkg and the let the local system determine pretty much everything. Then I could just build the packages once and continue developing on binclient.

Option B is if I could just make a list of functions that cannot be overriden by later binpkg environment import. In this case egetent, enewuser, enewgroup. My preliminary experiments with "declare -r" or "readonly" in /etc/portage/bashrc didn't really succeed, probably because the processes during binpkg emerge are not related or I just don't know the right way to do this. It appears in the beginning, some stuff runs from the binclient environment, then everything gets switched to binpkg environment, then final cleanup happens again in binclient environment.

Ideas?
