The installation path can also be set in the environment as $EPREFIX

Haven't tried this myself (does that also skip the other questions about wishing the script luck?), but added a note about it.

It does not skip the questions, but saves time typing

And it avoids accidentally installing to a different location... :)
+1 for defining $EPREFIX up front
I also had to do this, because some /etc/profile.d scripts in the system I'm playing on define $LD_LIBRARY_PATH & co:
export SHELL="/bin/bash --norc --noprofileThe Prefix bootstrap script gives up when it sees things like $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $CPATH defined in a freshly created shell.

singularity exec should use consistent image name (prefix.simg or prefix.sif)

Made the names consistent with the other command. Still using .simg here since I was running it with an older 2.x version on Ubuntu, but could use .sif (Singularity 3.x) as well.

For now this will probably work, but I think it's better to include our own version/copy of the bootstrap script. That's a version that we tested (and possibly we want to modify it a bit). Always taking the latest version from the Gentoo git might give unexpected errors/results.

Jup, agreed. And we've seen that the bootstrap script isn't terribly stable...

use https for distfiles.prefix.bitzolder.nl
… into install_prefix

Merged my instructions into the new README, and improved some things (e.g. the def file). |
…t $SHELL may contain something like '/bin/bash --noprofile --norc'
