I was asked to discuss here a portage enhancement proposed by me [1]. Basically I need a pkg_create() that will be executed only in the context of the upcoming "ebuild ${PF}.ebuild create" command.
The package where I need it is app-mobilephone/bitpim. The upstream doesn't offer a source tarball, so I need to construct it myself from their svn repository. Up till recently, I used some hackery in pkg_setup() to create it (see the ebuild), but now "ebuild $PF.ebuild setup" verify the digest before running pkg_setup().
