At the top level, we set an environment variable to the pid of the main ebuild process. Then we install a signal trap handler, which, thanks to how bash works, is allowed to exit the main process. Then we make die first try to signal that trap handler, via kill (hence why we need the main pid), and then fall back to an exit. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis is faster : http://ciaranm.org/show_post.pl?post_id=61
