I share the same opinion, but it's a solution with the "actual" portage version that allow someone to make menuconfig from an ebuild so the user can pre-configure the package without doiing most of the job by hand. > pkg_config is for post-emerge configuration > > what you want is a new function called 'src_config' which has been proposed > recently As make menuconfig is part of the build process and not a post-configuration like pkg_config is, I sent another patch with a src_preconfig (on gentoo-dev). See: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-dev&m=112143274103251&w=2 For src_config, it wont be there to run interactive stuff, but for splitting src_compile in src_config and src_compile as non interactive task. src_preconfig is there for optional interactiveness between src_unpack and src_compile. Imo, src_preconfig is way better, but some people dont seem to share my opinion so I found this hack which allow a user to configure it without doiing all the job by hand. Thank for your feed back.
