[gentoo-dev] Re: [desktop] Practical suggestion on moving kde/gnome packages

[Dan Armak]

Additional explanation: above method is the only one that answers to the 
requirment that the script must run automatically after emerge rsync on every 
user's computer, because we have no way of telling the user to run it 
himself. (That's why we wanted a job system in the first place.)

The other solution would be to make emerge execute the script when run. This 
has the benefits of a centralized approach, but the users need to be told to 
remerge sys-apps/portage, somehow, which is an egg-and-chicken problem.

Hope we can solve this soon,
