Hi, when portage installs a package, it first installs it into some "shadow root". Then it records all files installed before it moves the files to the "real root".
I have to do some installations on SUSE systems (which are not administered by me) and I'd like to imitate that procedure there. Can anybody tell me if it's not too complicated and if yes, how to achieve this (on a foreign system like SUSE). Many thanks for your help, Helmut.
