Well, I say fully. Actually, it isn't, since I don't have write access to the sec-policy directory. But that really isn't a problem, since only two people actually care what's in there anyway, and one of them can't read. Package maintainers, feel free to update the descriptions if you can come up with something better. It's fairly likely you'll be able to add in a couple more helpful sentences, since I never go anywhere near some categories. If you're fluent in non-English, by all means add in other languages, but only do this if you're actually sure you're going to spell things properly -- this is why I stuck to English only... If you're committing, **remember to use utf-8**. If your language uses all kinds of weird accented characters, you could really screw things up if you don't. The correct way to commit a *category* metadata file at the moment is: xmllint --noout --valid metadata.xml glep31check metadata.xml cvs commit -m "blah blah" metadata.xml You can get glep31check from [2]. It's just a little utf-8 checker. As a result of this, and with a bit of help from vim7's built-in spell checker, I now know how to spell miscellaneous correctly without having to think about it. There's nothing in the metadata docs [3] about it yet. But then, the metadata docs are massively out of date anyway (we've had repoman support for ages...). You can get everything you need from the GLEP and the DTD -- any questions, just ask. 1: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0034.html 2: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/overlay/app-portage/glep31check/ 3: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3D2&chap=3D4 --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Wed__23_Mar_2005_02_46_08_+0000_S+f1iT3RckP4/0Cv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQNhy96zL6DUtXhERAlxMAJ4uh2Zn2VeHw3iBy9hLbAo5zS4t3wCgsuhW Jk/E4bS92VW3oqh3dHj+RwM= =QZhq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Wed__23_Mar_2005_02_46_08_+0000_S+f1iT3RckP4/0Cv-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
