However the index.html files are only readable by root. Is there a treat when running emerge to ensure files are readable by others?
That's an artifact of your umask. I run root with a umask of 022, so I didn't notice the problem. You can add the line umask(0133); to the script (before the open call) to get a sensible 0644 (rw-r--r--) mode. As I've also modified the sorting of entries on each line, in an attempt to make each index.html come first in its directory, I've attached my latest copy to this email. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
