# directories in portage to ignore (not used yet)

#check if this is first run
if [ ! -f /var/cache/package.cache ] ; then
    echo "initializing package cache..."
    find /usr/portage/ -type d -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 | sort 2>/dev/null

else
    # move old cache (to compare to later)
    mv -f /var/cache/package.cache /var/cache/package.old 2>/dev/null

    # create new cache
     echo "Creating cache..."
