Paludis/Hooks

Eix
Here is a simple python version of the eix-update hook; it requires the python-bindings USE flag and works with sys-apps/paludis-0.80.0 and app-portage/eix-0.25.5. If the script is finished, it shows interesting changes in the repositories via 'eix-diff'.

Alternative bash version that does the same thing :

lafilefixer
This runs lafilefixer on your image before it is merged into $ROOT. This way you won't have problems with changed mtimes or checksums (which you will have if you run lafilefixer later)

zipping man, removing info
With this hook you can zip your man-pages and remove the info files from the image before it gets merged. You can of course also do it the other way around or zip both or remove both once you get the idea.

Applying local patches automatically
This script applies patches to the source from a local directory (/etc/paludis/patches/) after the prepare stage completed (Similar to this feature of Portage.) Copied from this article and modified a little:
