Installation

There are two scripts. One is a hook script, and the other is a _paludis_wrapper. The hook script goes to the .../hooks/common folder and is then symlinked to the right hook/ subfolder (see the exact locations below). The wrapper script goes to the /usr/bin/ folder.

You just have to make an alias:

Code:

alias paludis="/usr/bin/_paludis_wrapper.bash"

Now you can use paludis with a new option -a or - -ask

Code: Example

paludis -i -a openoffice
paludis -ia openoffice
paludis -i --ask openoffice

If you do not like the defauls settings for the hook, you can configure it in the

Location of configuration file:

Location of hook script:

/usr/share/paludis/hooks/common/paludis-ask.bash

Location of symlinks:

install_all_pre
