Hello World! TL;DR: This evening I plan to mangle ~3000 ebuilds in the main tree by dropping trailing '.' in all 'DESCRIPTION=' fields (except "etc." case)
Long story:
As you may know newest portage release 2.2.11
got a minor (but chatty) QA warning:
DESCRIPTION ends with a '.' character
https://github.com/gentoo/portage/commit/06637c4215d55c57517739214c6e0fd6f8f53914
https://bugs.gentoo.org/438976
About ~3000 ebuilds are affected, thus I've sketched a mangling script:
https://github.com/trofi/gentoo-qa/blob/master/check_description.sh
It is nice to use to convert all your large overlays you sync to gx86, etc.
The script does not handle case of multiline description:
DESCRIPTION="You have to
clean that yourself."
I'll mangle/commit one package at a time. Hope not to interfere with your
workflow much.
If you have any objections/thoughts please do say so.
Thanks!
