When using ROOT=/foo, it always instantiates 2 profiles, and it uses one profile for ROOT=/foo and the other profile for ROOT=/. > Futhermore, it does not understand the host profile, probably > because my own PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT don't have profile-formats = portage-2 You're saying this beciase of the above ParseError? I think maybe what you want to do keep the default /usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf and mask */*::gentoo in $PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT/etc/portage/package.mask. -- Thanks, Zac
