No, because the "usersync" feature causes the rsync process to inherit the UID and GID of the PORTDIR directory (obtained using the stat function). > And then break > again, and again every time portage is merged? No, I would not want to trigger an relatively expensive operation like this more that once. So, it would only be triggered in pkg_postinst if the replaced version of portage did not have usersync enabled by default. -- Thanks, Zac
