Tackling domain

tag a 'x' in front of stuff that's been implemented

unhandled (eg, figure these out) vars/features

  • (user)?sandbox
  • userpriv(_fakeroot)?
  • digest
  • cvs (this option is a hack)
  • fixpackages , which probably should be a sync thing (would need to bind the vdb and binpkg repo to it though)
  • keep(temp|work), easy to implement, but where to define it?
  • PORT_LOGDIR
  • env overrides of use...

vdb wrapper/vdb repo instantiation (either domain created wrapper, or required in the vdb repo section def)

  • CONFIG_PROTECT*
  • collision-protect
  • no(doc|man|info|clean) (wrapper/mangler)
  • suidctl
  • nostrip. in effect, strip defaults to on; wrappers if after occasionally on, occasionally off.
  • sfperms

build section (vars)

  • C(HOST|TARGET), (LD*|C*)FLAGS?
  • (RESUME|FETCH)COMMAND are fetcher things, define it there.
  • MAKEOPTS
  • PORTAGE_NICENESS (imo)
  • TMPDIR ? or domain it?

gpg is bound to repo, class type specifically. strict/severe are likely settings of it. the same applies for profiles.

distlocks is a fetcher thing, specifically (probably) class type.

buildpkgs is binpkg + filters.

package.provided is used to generate a seperate vdb, a null vdb that returns those packages as installed.
