From what I know, you don't need that hook. The ebuilds handle this now |
| 13 |
by using the split-usr use flag, so if you add this to |
| 14 |
/etc/portage/make.conf you should be ok. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
USE="${USE} -split-usr" |
| 17 |

Let me know if that isn't the case. |

I'm not exactly sure what portage will do without your hook though. What |
| 21 |
happens if you remove your hook then some ebuild tries to install |
| 22 |
something in /bin for example? I would argue that, if /bin resolves to a |
| 23 |
path, portage should just follow the symlink and install where the |
| 24 |
symlink points. I base this argument on the return of `test -d` for |
| 25 |
this situation. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
``` |
| 28 |
$ ln -s /usr/bin foo |
| 29 |
$ [ -d foo ] && echo "foo is a path" |
| 30 |
``` |
