This is how I have configured per package FEATURES here and it seems to work. For example configuring ccache for large packages which take days to emerge on an old PC: # cat /etc/portage/env/ccache.conf FEATURES="ccache" Now I need to point particular package(s) to it: # cat /etc/portage/package.env app-office/libreoffice ccache.conf www-client/firefox ccache.conf www-client/chromium ram_limit.conf ccache.conf If I want more packages to use ccache.conf I add their name/version in the /etc/portage/package.env file. -- Regards, Mick
