If you're that interested in saving space on variable names, why not make an eclass called, say, a.eclass, that aliases all the existing 'long' names (DESCRIPTION, SRC_URI, RDEPEND, DEPEND, IUSE, src_unpack, ...) onto 'x', 'y', 'z' and so on? Yes, another eclass would make the tree slightly bigger, but you'd save that many times over once you changed a few hundred ebuilds to use it. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
