[gentoo-portage-dev] support multiple eclass variants (aka unstable eclasses)
Hello fellow Portage developers,
attached portage patch draft aims to allow for easy distributing eclasses to be
tested by
multiple tinderboxes on various architectures, without being active for normal
installs.
Usage is to have in make.conf (or profile): PORTAGE_ECLASS_VARIANTS=testing
and for the eclass: to live in tree-or-overlay/eclass/testing/
Thoughts? (even for var-naming, manpage yes/no/wording, ...)
Thank you!

There are lots of places to update (including python code). See git grep eclass. Thank you! /haubi/

Ohw, haven't been aware of that - will try first. Thanks! /haubi/
