Subject: [gentoo-dev] echo during src_install (numlockx ebuild)

1 I've got an ebuild for numlockx and I'd like to append a couple lines to
2 the end of Xsetup0 in /etc/X11/xdm. This seems like something that
3 should be done in src_install to enable config file protection. If I'm
4 in src_install, though, I of course cannot edit files not in the
5 package, so I was trying to copy Xsetup0 into the source dir, edit it,
6 then doins it back, but I kept getting denied by sandbox. I could just
7 do the echo in pkg_preinst, but then the user has no choice. Any ideas?
