I I'm involved with pan upstream, I keep a slightly rewritten copy of the |
| 20 |
net-nntp/pan-9999 ebuild in my overlay, synced to the one in the tree. |
| 21 |
The main difference between it and the tree version is that my version |
| 22 |
has: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
[[ $EGIT_PROJECT ]] || EGIT_PROJECT="${PN}2" |
| 25 |
[[ $EGIT_REPO_URI ]] || EGIT_REPO_URI="git://git.gnome.org/ |
| 26 |
${EGIT_PROJECT}" |
| 27 |
[[ $EGIT_BRANCH ]] || EGIT_BRANCH=master |
| 28 |
[[ $EGIT_COMMIT ]] || EGIT_COMMIT=$EGIT_BRANCH |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
That allows me to keep an /etc/portage/env/net-nntp/pan file where I can |
| 31 |
set those as I wish, as well as keep (normally commented) vars such as |
| 32 |
EGIT_COMMIT, EGIT_OFFLINE, etc. |
