Hello |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I was aware that the alternative package managers provide hooks for |
| 4 |
some time now, but only found out recently that portage also has this |
| 5 |
feature. Unfortunately I was not able to find any documentation about |
| 6 |
it. I found some information related to hooks in portage on this list |
| 7 |
and elsewhere but all of those sources assumed that the reader already |
| 8 |
knows the basics. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
So what I am looking for is a tutorial along the lines "howto write |
| 11 |
you first portage hook function". Of course a more in-depth |
| 12 |
description would also be welcome. If something like this already |
| 13 |
exists I apologize for not searching enough, and kindly ask you to |
| 14 |
point you to the location. |

The earlies post about hooks on this list seam to be from 2005, so I |
| 17 |
was a bit surprised I could not find any documentation about them. In |
| 18 |
my opinion this should be documented in the handbook. I can only |
| 19 |
assume that either no one found the time to write it or that hooks are |
| 20 |
intentionally not documented to prevent users from messing things up |
| 21 |
and then filling untraceable bug reports. So if later were the case I |
| 22 |
would still be very thankful if you could answer me in private, even |
| 23 |
though I think this should be documented in public. |
