Hy everybody,

can you please tell me if there is some way to set the install directory
of an ebuild globally without changing the ebuild?
Let me clarify:
I want a few packages to not be merged under / directly but rather to be
located under /something/*.
I understand that the ebuilds contain directives of where to install the
files through src_install(). However I don't believe it would be a good
idea to edit ebuilds manually since it would lead to breakages during
emerge --sync.
So is there some file I can edit to change the install directory for a
certain package?
For example like setting
wireshark /wifi
firefox /stuff
baselayout /
(this is just a rough sketch of what I'm looking for.)

All help would be greatly appreciated!

Many Greetings
Paul
