/etc/cron.weekly/f-prot-update.cron

simply trivial

I don't like the idea. The users should decide theirselves how often they
want to update the virus scanner. But what I could imagine is something for
the pkg_config() of the ebuild, e.g. to display an example for the crontab.

wschlich?

"It is the thought that counts."

Idea for a portage feature (here is as good of a place as any),  Ask the user during pkg_config() how they want the package configured.  This could be enabled with emerge --queries or something (currently missing functionality).  I'm sure this is not the only package that could use it.  "Do you want me to run xf86config?"  "How big do you want your ccache directory (2G)?"

you should create a bug report for that and assign to dev-portage :) (as a
feature request)

The best we can currently do is to display a (einfo) message in pkg_postinst()
which tells user to run check-updates.sh regularly, suggesting a cron entry.

Added a pkg_postinst() notice. Finally. :)
