What is the point? What problem are you trying to solve with this ebuild? As far as I can tell, there is no point, other than trying to sound like you are doing something important. I can tell you that I would be disappointed if this replaces the current ebuilds, because I really don't need to reinstall nvidia-settings and nvidia-glx every time I build a new kernel. > We hope you will find this approach a more streamlined and > easy implementation for nVidia.
