11 Installing this I find that:
12
13 * //etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize has been installed for
14 convenience
15 * If you wish for it to be automatically run at the end of every --
16 sync simply chmod +x //etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize
17 * Normally this should only take a few seconds to run but file
18 systems such as ext3 can take a lot longer.
19 * If ever you find this to be an inconvenience simply chmod -x //etc/
20 portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize
21
22 I see that this "/etc/portage/postsync.d/q-reinitialize" simply calls
23 the core portage-utils binary with the --quiet & --reinitialize
24 parameters.
25
26 Am I correct in assuming that portage-utils does not work stuff out
27 "on the fly" but needs to rebuild its database after each `emerge --
28 sync`?
