# Simple make.conf for 64-bit Raspberry Pi 3 & Pi 4 SBCs

# NB most settings now taken from the default/linux/arm64/17.0/desktop/genpi64
# profile
# See /usr/local/portage/genpi64/profiles/targets/genpi64/<...>
# You can override as desired in this file (/etc/portage/make.conf)
# (and via the other /etc/portage/<...> subdirectory entries)

# global USE flag overrides
USE=""

# some scripts looks for PORTDIR in make.conf explicitly
PORTDIR=/var/db/repos/gentoo

# two lines, and modifying the values as required
# Pi3 users (or Pi4 users with a 1GiB variant) should be
# less aggressive here

# caution! many parallel threads and / or emerge jobs may cause your
# RPi3/4 to run out of memory during large builds, or genup runs

# to get the old (<portage-2.3.77) autoumask behaviour back,

#EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="${EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS} --autounmask"
