[gentoo-dev] RFC: new sword-module eclass

[Steve Dibb]

Okay, this is my first attempt at writing an eclass, so comments are 
welcome.

First of all, here's the background.  Sword modules are currently lumped 
together in one general package (sword-modules), when it would be 
simpler and easier to track them by having them as individual packages, 
each in app-dict, with a package naming scheme of "sword-ModName" 
format.  ModName is the naming scheme used upstream to release modules 
as, so creating ebuilds is going to be in the official releases a matter 
of just inheriting the eclass and setting the SWORD_MODULE variable. 
The eclass takes care of the rest, which is just unpacking the files and 
dropping them in /usr/share/sword

Since upstream[1] doesn't have any proper versioning scheme (all 
releases are ModName.zip, regardless of version), I'm going to manually 
host a mirror on spaceparanoids[2] of the module with the version 
suffixed on the filename.  Alternatively, I could just put them in 
distfiles-local.  With the eclass, we can have ebuilds for each version 
release.

Let me know what you guys thinks.  Thanks.

Here's the eclass:

# eclass to simplify installation of Sword modules

And also a sample ebuild that inherits it, this would be 
app-dicts/sword-WebstersDict-1.1.ebuild:

SWORD_MODULE="WebstersDict"

inherit sword-module
