Subject: [gentoo-dev] Portage and whatis database

1 Hi!
2
3 I was wondering, should portage update the whatis database after
4 emerging a package? Because I only see a message that says the info
5 pages database is being updated. Also "apropos" does not ever show
6 anything except if I run "makewhatis" or "makewhatis -u" as root after
7 running emerge.
8
9 So, the question is, does portage update the whatis database
10 everywhere but on my machine or is this functionality/feature not even
11 in portage. Because if emerge isn't supposed to do that (doesn't do it
12 yet) I shall definitely file a bug report with a feature request.
13
14 Any thoughts?
