~arch builds

Hi!

I'm just curious (and did not find anything about that yet).
Is it
possible to build ~arch stages and livecds without changing
the tree or
using portage_confdir?

Yes, just set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~whatever" in your
envscript.

It is possible, but not something we would ever support, so
I couldn't
even tell you if it would work.  It *should* work but that
doesn't mean
that it *will* work.

You'd just need to set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in your envscript,
though you
have to realize that it won't affect make.conf in the
stages, so the
first time someone tried a world update, it would try to
downgrade every
package and likely break the person's system.
