[gentoo-dev] metadata.xml USE flag descriptions

[gentoo-dev] metadata.xml USE flag descriptions

[Doug Goldstein]

Please make sure you commit any changes to use.local.desc to 
metadata.xml otherwise you risk the chance of having your changes lost. 
I'm currently in the process of converting use.local.desc to 
metadata.xml. After a category is converted, it will be auto-generated 
EXCLUSIVELY from metadata.xml. This means it will be YOU QA error if you 
only commit to use.local.desc from here on out.

This means use.local.desc will be in a state of constant flux as a 
result of this.

If people wish to take specific categories, please let this thread know.

I can take app-emacs and (the rest of) app-editors.

A minor issue: use.local.desc is not sorted properly anymore.
It should be sorted by category/package first, then by the USE flag.

For example (they are all in reverse order now):
   app-editors/emacs < app-editors/emacs-cvs
   dev-db/postgresql < dev-db/postgresql-base
   dev-java/ant < dev-java/ant-tasks
   x11-libs/qt < x11-libs/qt-core

I think something like "sort -t -k1,1" should do the job.

Hmm, maybe we should then disallow commits to use.local.desc on the cvs
server completely ...

I have yet to touch use.local.desc... so any out of order issues are 
developer's making.

Still debating how I'm going to do it for the time being.... Attached is 
a generated file from an hour or two ago. It basically needs to be 
combined with the current use.local.desc, with the duplicates in 
use.local.desc removed..

We've actually been considering this. The ban will definitely go into 
effect once all categories are fully converted and it's auto-generating.

Quick howto from IRC logs for those who want to get started:

Copy the stuff to metadata.xml, fix the typos and grammatical issues,
and any package or category references need to be wrapped in <pkg> or <cat>

Just to give an example of the above...

app-cdr/brasero:libburn - Enable libburn backend.

becomes...

    <flag name='libburn'>Enable <pkg>dev-libs/libburn</pkg> backend</flag>

It does... but that would require developers to use the latest 
repoman... which isn't always the case.

I wrote the script that generates the new files.

It reads categories from $REPO_DIR/profiles/catogories
Then per category it runs down each package in os.listdir() order.

The use flags are output on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The script could possibly sort entries (sort categories; sort listdir
output, keep per-package use flags in memory and sort them).  File a
bug to me if you want this.

For everyone else...

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/users/antarus/projects/infra/

I'm currently generating my own categories file from the completed 
categories list in use.local.desc

$ cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | sed '1,/# The following 
categories/d;/# End of metadata categories/,$d' | wc -l
34

$ cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | grep -v '^#' | cut -d '/' 
-f 1 | sort -u | wc -l
132

Which means we've got just over 25% of the tree converted.. good job all.

Here are the following steps that I'm doing to generate use.local.desc 
currently..


$ cat use.local.desc | sed '1,/# The following categories/d;/# End of 
metadata categories/,$d;s/^../^/' > tmp.categories
$ grep -v -f tmp.categories use.local.desc | grep -v '^#' > 
tmp.use.local.desc
$ cat tmp.categories | cut -d '^' -f 2 > tmp.categories
$ use_desc_gen --repo_path ~/work/gentoo-x86/ --category_path 
tmp.categories >> tmp.use.local.desc
$ grep '^#' use.local.desc > use.local.desc
$ cat tmp.use.local.desc | sort -t ' ' -k1,1 >> use.local.desc
$ cvs commit -m "generated use.local.desc" use.local.desc

Currently step 4 is hindered by bugs #233208 & #233212

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233208
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233212

If anyone has any suggestions for an improved workflow while we work to 
convert the other 75% of the tree, feel free to speak up.

I just did the rox-base and rox-extra categories.

Re: [gentoo-dev] metadata.xml USE flag descriptions

[Doug Goldstein]

As a follow up to everyone. If you complete a category, please let it be 
known in the correct place in use.local.desc.

We're at 37 of 131 categories complete, which pegs us at just over 28%
