After pondering this for a while, I'm still disinclined to generate the digest upon install. This is going to result in generating an index and a lot of other files not trackable by portage (due to sandbox, i'll have to run in pkg_postinst()). Seeing as monodoc gives good directions on how to generate the index if you want it, it's not like the user doesn't know how to fix the problem.

Leaving open for now to get your feedback. Pending that i'm going mark this WONTFIX in a bit.

Hi Peter,

thx for your answer. I don't know enough about portage as you do so I cannot evaluate the difficulty.

Then, instead of running the command, why not show a message after the installation telling the user that he or she needs to run --make-index first?

Ok, i've just added some info at the end of the monodoc emerge regarding generating the index. Marking FIXED. Thanks for the info.
