As is i already mentioned in mail before i see |
| 2 |
pkg_postinst and collegues as a risk that makes the sandbox of portage pretty |
| 3 |
useless. |

I understand that after transfering an image to the life filesystem sometimes |
| 6 |
additional steps are required to make the software function well. |

If this tasks are very special, this task should be triggered manually |
| 9 |
(eg. via ebuild bla.ebuild config or such) |
| 10 |
It should be possible to preview what task this command would execeute. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
There is a variety of comman tasks that are triggered in pkg_postinst, like |
| 13 |
depmod -a or so. for these common things a secure abstraction should be |
| 14 |
available (an api similar to dodir and collegues). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
It must not be possible to modify the life filesystem from within an ebuild. |
| 17 |
(Maybe it would make sense to make this switchable, on or off. |
| 18 |
On - ebuilds can modify the life filesystem - for desktops |
| 19 |
Off - ebuilds can not modify the life filesystem - for those who care) |
