How is this going to work? In order to pre-populate it, you need to know the list of files. And the list of files isn't known until src_install(). In fact, with the current behavior it's not even known before einstalldocs is actually called, and changing that could break stuff. -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
