Hi portage gurus,
is there a defined way for pkg_*{inst,rm} to know which CONTENTS have
been added/removed/replaced ?
For pkg_preinst(), "${D}" is available to know what will be "added" or
"replaced", but I want to know for
pkg_postinst: what has been "added" or "replaced"
pkg_prerm: what will be "removed" or "replaced"
pkg_postrm: what has been "removed" or "replaced"
Sometimes I've seen environment variable ${ORIGIN}, containing the
contents of var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>/CONTENTS, sometimes there was "${O}"
pointing to var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>, so I was able to read "${O}"/ORIGIN.
Or do you have any better idea on how to handle that AIX shared
libraries inside archive libraries than currently is done in prefix
using ugly hooks[1] ?
For some background eventually look at that 'shared objects' part at
gcc's platform specific install site[2].
