I want the information returned by eix after the script completes to take
into account the package updates that may occur during the portage or
world updates. I also want those updates to take into account the most
recent portage tree. So, I need a sync operation before the updates and a
eix-update after them. Thus, I can't combine the two operations into a
single eix-sync.
