Hi everyone, |

A while back, I wrote a python wrapper for install to preserve xattrs. |
| 4 |
Its installed in LIBDIR/portage/bin/install.py. It is *painfully* slow. |
| 5 |
For a package like moodle with 16650 .php files, none of which |
| 6 |
probably need any xattr's set, it takes about 30 mins to install. I |
| 7 |
rewrote the wrapper in C. Replacing the python wrapper with the C |
| 8 |
wrapper, the same example reduces from about 30 mins to 2 mins. |

Mike and I did some back and forth about how best to write it. The |
| 11 |
latest version is pretty much done at |

We need to get that integrated into portage. 1) I'm not 100% sure how |
| 16 |
to do that. 2) We may want to install it at /usr/bin/install-xattr |
| 17 |
because I'm sure it will be useful for more than just portage. |
