So to sum up this thread: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It seems that: |
| 4 |
a) we are moving to GIT which doesn't cope with $Header: $ stuff |
| 5 |
b) we want to avoid the "double commit" caused by $Header: $ |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
For a) I would prefer then to remove the $Header: $ stuff until GIT is |
| 8 |
really about to be used. In a GIT world things will change completely |
| 9 |
anyway (if it works at all). |
| 10 |
Then for b) I like to suggest to ask the portage team to simply skip the |
| 11 |
$Header: $ part(s) when calculating the digests, and shove that change |
| 12 |
in at the same time manifest1 is obsoleted and migrated into the tree |
| 13 |
(removal of digest-* files). |
