Description:   Opened: 2007-07-12 20:39 0000 
Hi. May I request that a CVS ebuild be created for emacs-w3m? I don't think
that a split ebuild is necessary (gnus , gnus-cvs style), just a masked version
9999.

There has been a fair amount of recent CVS work happening for this rather old
package.


Reproducible: Always

Created an attachment (id=124698) [details]
cvs ebuild: emacs-w3m-9999.ebuild

Requested CVS ebuild for emacs overlay or main portage tree.
Probably good to mask and/or make testing.

Hi, the ebuild looks good, except for two points:
1. You should use "eautoreconf", and this function is conventionally
   called in src_unpack.
2. ${WORKDIR}/${ECVS_MODULE} should be quoted.

In general, we are very reluctant to include live cvs ebuilds, especially if
several other packages depend on it. Isn't there any upstream release in sight?

Thanks. I should have remembered those. An extra pair of eyes is always good.
:)

My hope would be to place it in the emacs overlay. None of the releases support
Emacs 23. I'll ask upstream about their plans and follow up when I get a reply.

Follow-up from the devs:
    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.w3m/6898

It's almost ready for a release. The remaining TODOs are edge-condition cases
that the releases don't appear to support either. The devs don't have time to
finish it up just now.

A snapshot of the CVS is available (hardmasked) as
app-emacs/emacs-w3m-1.4.4.20070704.

Feel free to reopen this bug when you think that the snapshot should be updated
(or when there is a release).
