[gentoo-dev] All ebuild creators, please read this!

[Mikael Hallendal]

Hi!

Just a little request to all that creates ebuilds.

It would be nice if you add a comment

# $Header$ 

right after you name, like this:

# Copyright 2001 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2 or later
# Author Mikael Hallendal <hallski@gentoo.org>
# $Header$

$Header$ will then be changed into information about revision (in CVS)
and who checked in the latest version. 

Thanks,
Mikael Hallendal

This exists in skel.build, but an older version of skel.build left out the $ 
signs. Many ebuilds are based on that older version and include a line saying 
they *are* skel.build. We should write a script to update all these.

Yes, that $Header$ line is very important.  If the $Header$ line in your ebuild
seems to contain info about some other ebuild, don't worry about it.  CVS will
fix it when the ebuild gets committed.

Good idea; have any time to do this?
