Emerde

This release adds the options INFODIR, LOCASTATEDIR, MANDIR, SYSCONFDIR, and DATADIR to make.globals. With these options, the user can choose the destination directories of the packages being installed. The init script is in /etc/rc.d/rc.emerde and is started by rc.local. Some installation warnings have been cleaned up. Some bugs in install-config.sh have been fixed. A bug in ebuild.sh where it failed the compilation of packages with two ./configure's has been fixed.

Portage has been updated to 2.0.50-r1. Some of portage's bugs have been fixed. The installation code for tgz has been improved. The "unmerge" bug has been fixed: if you tried to re-emerde an en-merded pkg, you got an error. There is some code cleanup.

A --skipit option has been added, which will merge the packages and allow you to skip to the next merge with the SIGINT signal or by pressing Ctrl-C. ld.so.cache is not regenerated when using --maketgzonly. Changes in CFLAGS during install-config.sh are now effective. "Real latest version available" output has been added to the search action.

This release adds a --searchcontents option. It is useful to know to
what package a file or a directory belongs. "emerde baselayout" and
"emerde sys-apps/baselayout" are now denied. There are various small
bugfixes.

The --pretend option was added for .tgz packages.
The cp_all function (to get the portage tree) was
rewritten to use /var/cadb. A significant speed
improvement was made in all the fuctions that use
cp_all (such as --search, sync, and update cache).
A pkg2por installation problem was fixed: it
didn't create the CADB file during the
installation.
