Okay, this is my first attempt at writing an eclass, so comments are
welcome.
First of all, here's the background. Sword modules are currently lumped
together in one general package (sword-modules), when it would be
simpler and easier to track them by having them as individual packages,
each in app-dict, with a package naming scheme of "sword-ModName"
format. ModName is the naming scheme used upstream to release modules
as, so creating ebuilds is going to be in the official releases a matter
of just inheriting the eclass and setting the SWORD_MODULE variable.
The eclass takes care of the rest, which is just unpacking the files and
dropping them in /usr/share/sword
Since upstream[1] doesn't have any proper versioning scheme (all
releases are ModName.zip, regardless of version), I'm going to manually
host a mirror on spaceparanoids[2] of the module with the version
suffixed on the filename. Alternatively, I could just put them in
distfiles-local. With the eclass, we can have ebuilds for each version
release.
Let me know what you guys thinks. Thanks.
Here's the eclass:
