Weird. The Gentoo wiki documents /etc/portage/package.env at... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Overriding_environment_variables_per_package for handling special cases like this. Not every package tests at runtime. Leaving sse4.1 enabled could result in other packages crashing with illegal instructions. I don't use chromium. But if I did, I'd use package.env to handle it as a special case. Chromium is plain weird anyways. A web browser should not require udev. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
