[gentoo-dev] Deveopers HOWTO

[gentoo-dev] Deveopers HOWTO

[David Spreen]

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

I've been sourcing the following from my .emacs. It is basically what
you have and makes use of the shell-script mode (for that lovable
font-locking goodness). As time permits, I'll add keywords for
everything portage related (dobin, dodoc, inherit etc.). May even
consider adding it to the emacs/xemacs ebuilds somehow (or at least
app-emacs/).

|   (sh-set-shell "bash")
|   (set-variable 'tab-width 4))
| (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.ebuild\\'" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))
| (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.eclass\\'" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))
