 Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2003 4:39 pm Post subject: first ebuild help |
 |
|
I just up and decided to make an ebuild today (I've been using Gentoo for a year, so it's about time). I have everything working right now, but I have concerns about ease of maintaining (I'm just thinking of you guys  ). Right now, I have to manually set a package version (using MY_PV), because the files to be downloaded don't have dots in the version. i.e. a package with version 1.2.3 has package123.zip for a file. How do I strip out the dots (I know I'm being really technical here) to set MY_PV automatically from PV? This is important, because the development branch of this package gets updated every week, and I don't think anyone wants to change MY_PV every time. |

heh, imo, there is no correct or incorrect way to do things. there are just two questions to always ask yourself:
1: does it work, and
2: does it make sense to someone else who might want to look at it.
if you can answer yah to both of those, then you are fine, if the answer is nah to either of those questions, you might want to consider something else  |

pcgen is in portage, and among the modifications it got on the way in, one was:
MY_PV="${PV//./}" |
