[gentoo-dev] multiple version parts in ebuild name.

[gentoo-dev] multiple version parts in ebuild name.

[Henti Smith]

Is there a "suggested" way around the multiple version parts error when you have a package with the name gl-117 as the package name.
the ebuild would be gl-117-0.9.ebuild in directory gl-117 which causes the error.

I've asked google, but didn't get much back :( 

help please :)

One way may be to call the package gl_117 so it would look like:

  app-games/gl_117/gl_117-0.9.ebuild

and inside the ebuild create a custom package variable:

  MY_P="${P/_/-}"

Then you can use "${MY_P}" where you would normally use "${P}" or you can
just use "${P/_/-}" directly.
