Whilst you're at it... Why not split unpack up into, say, unpack and prepare? Make src_unpack's default stay the same and use src_prepare for patches and autotools things? This will avoid the pointless duplication of the default src_unpack code that's currently used in many ebuilds. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
