Agreed.> > ICANINSTALLTO was the best idea presented, but that implies it would > be a list of known working prefixes, which seems unrealistic. DOMAIN is a saner name imo. Aside from that, listing every potential target (/usr/bin, $HOME/bin fex) is whacky and getting into the HOME stuff that comes after. I would suggest root, and offset as the initial targets. root would be implicit if DOMAIN isn't defined, and references / as the prefix. offset is just as it sounds, a root offset, everything from that tree installed at an offset. > Maybe > it would be better to have portage error check that globally at the > load_config stage against a list of known stupid prefixes, > stupidprefixes=["/usr","/","/bin"] etc. etc. Bit beyond the ken of this discussion, but yah, agreed. ~harring
