| 1 | Hello World! |
| 2 | |
| 3 | TL;DR: |
| 4 | This evening I plan to mangle ~3000 ebuilds in the main tree |
| 5 | by dropping trailing '.' in all 'DESCRIPTION=' fields (except "etc." case) |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Long story: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | As you may know newest portage release 2.2.11 |
| 10 | got a minor (but chatty) QA warning: |
| 11 | DESCRIPTION ends with a '.' character |
| 12 | |
| 13 | https://github.com/gentoo/portage/commit/06637c4215d55c57517739214c6e0fd6f8f53914 |
| 14 | https://bugs.gentoo.org/438976 |
| 15 | |
| 16 | About ~3000 ebuilds are affected, thus I've sketched a mangling script: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | https://github.com/trofi/gentoo-qa/blob/master/check_description.sh |
| 19 | |
| 20 | It is nice to use to convert all your large overlays you sync to gx86, etc. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | The script does not handle case of multiline description: |
| 23 | DESCRIPTION="You have to |
| 24 | clean that yourself." |
| 25 | |
| 26 | I'll mangle/commit one package at a time. Hope not to interfere with your |
| 27 | workflow much. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | If you have any objections/thoughts please do say so. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Thanks! |
