Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH v2 0/2] man page updates to promote keepdir usage
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2018 22:57:01
Message-Id: 20180112225653.14335-1-mjo@gentoo.org
1 The main barrier to proper keepdir usage is that nobody knows what
2 it's for. These two commits update the ebuild (5) man page with an
3 explanation, namely that empty directories are undefined by the PMS.
4
5 v2 uses different wording for dodir, and tries to be more precise
6 about what we mean by "is (non)empty."

8 Michael Orlitzky (2):
9 man/ebuild.5: document that dodir is for nonempty directories.
10 man/ebuild.5: document the rationale for using keepdir over dodir.
