However, there might be other similar packages without a source tarball (slim chance, but quite possible). At first, I asked upstream to provide such tarball, but I got refused because "SourceForge file release process is far too annoying". As a side note, if bitpim wasn't such a fairly popular package, I wouldn't even bother with it (personally I don't use it). > - is there a particular reason this has to be integrated into the > ebuild and should not be handled by an ordinary script? > =20 There are 2 reasons: a) convenience - no need to pass version to the script b) maintainability - easy to take over when I will be gone P.S: The name proposed by me isn't exactly right, as Mike already remarked on the bug. I suggest to use src_create as function name. --------------enig43B5C29984F0806C840CF8AA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGnFC/ozkEeOnWD00RAjTPAKCGa4fA0qCYbz0pknMwCh47USv9BACgn/4o wHI0FmnJ13a1hJOj3NNIfTc= =5e+n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig43B5C29984F0806C840CF8AA-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
