I'm gone for about 2 more weeks, but when I get back I will have anon
svn and a separate svn repo that I can give out accounts for. Oh, and
trac too.

That sounds good Kito. I don't know if it had been discussed before, but I
was thinking it might be a good idea to create a prefix.eclass that can
share a set of functions. One function I was thinking of was to prepend the
EPREFIX, and have a smart enough to not add it if it already existed. It
seems like much of the work is figuring out where to add and where not to
add. It could give some sort of warning if the prefix was already there so
we know about it, yet does not break to build.



Thoughts on this idea?

Maybe you can make the first version of $(prefix [package]) function in
that case. It should return the prefix that was used when installing
package, or when no package given, the default prefix, so it can be used
also in --with-xxxxx=$(prefix xxxxxx)/usr/bin/xxxxxx or something.

There has been some discussions on this issue on this list before. Not
sure if I reword the idea correctly.
