Am trying my hand at an ebuild for afterstep-2.00.beta1 and am having the
following problem when adapting the 1.8.11-r2 file: when trying to create
the digest, I get the following error:
ben@lorax afterstep $ sudo ebuild afterstep-2.00.beta1.ebuild digest
Password:
!!! Name error in 2.00.beta1
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.
does this make sense to anyone?
thanks

yes, your ebuild version is invalid ... use 2.00_beta1

Call the ebuild afterstep-2.00_beta1.ebuild (notice the underscore instead
of dot). You can convert the underscore to the dot for $SRC_URI and $S
within the ebuild code with something like ${P/_beta/.beta/}.
