genpkgindex from gentoolkit. Newer versions of portage (2.2.x) will also auto generate this file. The tbox uses this exact copy. http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/portage/local/bin/genpkgindex Then it gets called from a bashrc such as.. if [ "$EBUILD_PHASE" = "postinst" ];then if [ "${ROOT}" == "/" ] || [ "${ROOT}" == "" ] && [ "${FEATURES/*genpkgindex*/}" != "$FEATURES" ]; then [ -x ${PORTDIR}/local/bin/genpkgindex ] && ${PORTDIR}/local/bin/genpkgindex fi fi > > Cheers, > > Chris > > [1] http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/x86/All/Packages > -- [email protected] mailing list
