This may help, along with Adams info. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/package.env This is a bit of mine that may also help. I hope you can follow what that means. The one for single may interest you the most. root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/package.env/package.env #www-client/seamonkey ../env/single.conf #www-client/firefox ../env/single.conf #www-client/firefox ../env/notmpfs.conf #www-client/seamonkey ../env/notmpfs.conf app-office/libreoffice ../env/notmpfs.conf #sys-devel/gcc ../env/notmpfs.conf dev-qt/qtwebengine ../env/notmpfs.conf #dev-qt/qtwebkit ../env/notmpfs.conf #sci-electronics/kicad ../env/notmpfs.conf root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/env/notmpfs.conf PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp/notmpfs" root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/env/single.conf #EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="-j1" root@fireball / # Note, some of mine are commented out so don't duplicate that.
