[gentoo-dev] How to name xdvik-22.40y1 ebuild?

[gentoo-dev] How to name xdvik-22.40y1 ebuild?

[Mamoru KOMACHI]

Hi all,

I've just wanted to package xdvik-22.40y1 (patch release of
xdvik-22.40y).  First I named it as xdvik-22.40y_p1.ebuild:

rico% ebuild xdvik-22.40y_p1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 22.40y_p1: characters before _ must be numeric
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.

Second, I tried xdvik-22.40y1.ebuild:

rico% ebuild xdvik-22.40y1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 22.40y1
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.

Third, xdvik-22.40y.1.ebuild:

rico% ebuild xdvik-22.40y.1.ebuild digest
!!! Name error in 22.40y.1: "40y" is not a valid version component.
!!! Error: PF is null; exiting.

After all, I couldn't make xdvik-22.40y1 ebuild :-(

As far as I understand naming policy from Gentoo Linux documentation I
think xdvik-22.40y_p1.ebuild is valid name (pkg = xdvik, ver = 22.40y,
suf = p1) while the others are invalid, but Portage complains about
all of them.  Do I misunderstand naming policy or does it belong to
Portage bug?  How can I make an ebuild of xdvik-22.40y1?  (I can name
it xdvik-22.40y-r2.ebuild as the last resort :-/ )

I think you are right.

File a bug and wait if it's marked as invalid :-)

Please don't do that. The -r? part just means versioning of the ebuild,
not of the package itself.

Bye, Patrick

Sure, I didn't intend to do that ;-)
