I have seen some ebuilds touching "my processes", usually when it goes wrong and the ebuild messes up. See for example . To me ebuilds should build, install and uninstall packages, and should never interfere with the live system when it isn't necessary, i.e. not when it's just a matter of convenience. So yes, to me this is a "big no-no". Kind regards, JeR -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
