Following up on the discussion of the last patchset, this
- moves the functionally into a new eclass, as adjusting the existing
eclass to export new phase functions is not viable.
- excludes the README.gentoo from decompression, as all other
presented approaches add complexity and cause additional disk space
consumption. While on the other hand, README.gentoo files are
typically very small because they should be suitable as pkg_postinst
output, so ther is often not much gained by compressing them.
- adds a GREADME_SHOW show option, to manually override the behavior
(as requested by ionen).
I don't recall requesting anything, or was it something i said on
IRC that I forgot about?
No, that seems to be a misunderstanding then. You wrote about the
maintainer being able to choose when the readme is worth showing again
and that a comparison would also "display it for minor style or typo
fixes.".
I thought that this was asking for a manual override. I am sorry, seems
that I got that wrong.
Also I assume GREADME_SHOW is actually GREADME_FORCE?
It's actually the other way around. Latest HEAD of greadme.eclass has
# @ECLASS_VARIABLE: GREADME_SHOW
# @DEFAULT_UNSET
# @DESCRIPTION:
# If set to "yes" then unconditionally show the contents of the readme
# file in pkg_postinst via elog. If set to "no", then do not show the
# contents of the readme file, even if they have changed.
