1 Latest stable portage told me this:
2
3 * Messages for package app-portage/portage-utils-0.10:
4
5 * /etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize has been installed for convenience
6 * If you wish for it to be automatically run at the end of every --sync:
7 * # chmod +x /etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize
8 * Normally this should only take a few seconds to run but file systems
9 * such as ext3 can take a lot longer. To disable, simply do:
10 * # chmod -x /etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize
11
12 but it did not tell me *why* and I don't understand what "Reinitialize ebuild
13 cache" mean.
14
15 In case this makes any odds, I am using eix. Do I need the above script?
