Hi, everyone. With a little delay I would like to announce that the eclass-manpages package is now properly versioned, starting this Tuesday. Most importantly, this means that users will no longer have to periodically rebuild the package in order to get the correct set of manpages -- instead, the package will be upgraded in the regular motion.
The versioned packages use archived snapshots of eclass files. Those who prefer the old mechanism can decide to unmask (via package.accept_keywords) the live ebuild (-9999*). While at it, I would like to encourage developers to create new snapshots and bump the package themselves whenever they commit eclass changes that could require updating the documentation. The ready command set is provided in the ebuild. For completeness, I will paste it here: mkdir eclass-manpages-$(date +%Y%m%d) cp "$(portageq get_repo_path / gentoo)"/eclass/*.eclass eclass-manpages-$(date +%Y%m%d)/ tar -cf eclass-manpages-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar eclass-manpages-$(date +%Y%m%d) xz -9e eclass-manpages-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar scp eclass-manpages-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.xz dev.gentoo.org:public_html/dist/ Then copy the ebuild and update your name in SRC_URI ;-). -- Best regards, Michał Górny
