[gentoo-dev] Deveopers HOWTO

[David Spreen <netzwurm@debian.org>]

Hey there,
I sent a piece of emacs-code to Grant Goodyear to do in emacs
what you suggested for the .vimrc. I sent it to Grant because
I didn't see the note about this address at the end of the 
page. 

Okay, to switch to 4-spaces tab mode (even in shellscript-mode)
of emacs add the following lines to your .emacs:

--BEGIN
;; gentoo check
(defun gentoo-check ()
   (if (string-match "gentoo-x86\\|gentoo-src\\|portage" 
     (file-name-directory (buffer-file-name)))
       (progn (set 'tab-width 4) 
              (set 'indent-tabs-mode 1)
              (set (make-local-variable 
                    'backward-delete-char-untabify-method) nil))))

(add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'gentoo-check)
--END

Additionally I want to ask how to contribute to the Documentation
of gentoo. I am interested in translating the HOWTO into german.
I am also interested in contributing in other ways (maybe 
check ebuild bugs and so on.

so long...

David
