Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I want to improve the current script that generates the Portage Watch section |
4 |
in GWN. The two problems I am focusing right now are: |
5 |
|
6 |
1.- Listing the USE variables that were added or removed since a given date. |
7 |
|
8 |
I have been looking around Portage but I cannot find any ChangeLog where I can |
9 |
get this info. A /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc ChangeLog would be perfect! |
10 |
|
11 |
2.- Differentiating between updated packages and new packages |
12 |
|
13 |
For this I think I can manage by looking at the last entry of the ChangeLog |
14 |
file and extracting the date from it. Example: |
15 |
/usr/portage/app-cdr/k3b/ChangeLog |
16 |
|
17 |
<file-contents> |
18 |
[...] |
19 |
*k3b-0.5.1 (1 Feb 2002) |
20 |
|
21 |
1 Feb 2002; G.Bevin <gbevin@g.o> ChangeLog : |
22 |
|
23 |
[...] |
24 |
</file-contents> |
25 |
|
26 |
One more thing, are ChangeLog files in packages automagically generated from |
27 |
CVS or are they hand-edited by developers? If they are hand edited then I am |
28 |
going to find errors in the format. I mean that humans commit errors and, for |
29 |
instance, some dev can forget to write the "*" at the begining of a ChangeLog |
30 |
entry! |
31 |
|
32 |
Thanks for your time! |
