Hello, Since lately Gentoo devs force you to replace collision-protect with protect-owned [1] and sometimes packages just spit out files randomly on the filesystem due to random errors, I thought it may be a good idea to provide a new feature limiting the locations where packages can install.
In order to do that, we should first compose a complete include/exclude list where packages can install. I'd suggest the following: + /bin + /boot (but maybe just subdirectories so packages can't overwrite kernels?) [potentially + /dev? but that's useful only when tmpfs isn't mounted] + /etc + /lib, /lib32, /lib64 + /opt + /sbin [potentially + /service for ugly daemontools] + /usr + /var - /usr/local - /usr/portage What are your thoughts on this?
