Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Allow SLOT documentation in metadata.xml
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:20:30
Message-Id: 1444670373-12706-1-git-send-email-hasufell@gentoo.org
1 The following patch tries to address the lack of slot
2 documentation, since getting the slots of a dependency
3 right seems like a common problem.
4
5 Things that I was particularly not sure about: the 'subslots'
6 element. Having a sub-element for 'slot' seemed even more
7 messy, so I tried to make this as simple as possible, so
8 that maintainers don't get angry and give up when trying
9 to document their slots. However, this is a little bit
10 at the expense of correctness, because you cannot
11 document different subslot naming schemes if they differ
12 between slots of a single package (does such thing even exist
13 in the tree?).
