Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-27 13:11:38 UTC 
eix ubertooth results in:

* net-wireless/ubertooth
     Available versions:  ~0.0_p534 **9999 {{+dfu +specan ubertooth0-firmware +ubertooth1-firmware}}
     Homepage:            http://ubertooth.sourceforge.net/
     Description:         Based on the subversion eclass


DESCRIPTION field comes from subversion eclass, cause it overwrites the original description. Please set DESCRIPTION in ebuild after checking for the live-ebuild.
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-28 23:19:14 UTC 
Maybe eix gets it wrong - both ebuilds in that directory have DESCRIPTION set properly, and both seem to have had it since their initial commit.

$ ebuildvar DESCRIPTION
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild : EAPI=4
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild : DESCRIPTION="
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild :     An open source wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild : "
    ubertooth-9999.ebuild : EAPI=4
    ubertooth-9999.ebuild : INHERIT subversion eutils multilib toolchain-funcs user
    ubertooth-9999.ebuild : DESCRIPTION="
    ubertooth-9999.ebuild :     An open source wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation
    ubertooth-9999.ebuild : "
Comment 2 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-28 23:40:09 UTC 
normally you inherit eclasses before setting description. 

This is how it is done in the ebuild:

DESCRIPTION="An open source wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation"

[...]

if [[ ${PV} == "9999" ]] ; then
	ESVN_REPO_URI="https://ubertooth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ubertooth/trunk/"
	SRC_URI=""
	inherit subversion
[...]


and here "inherit subversion" overwrites the original description
Comment 3 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-28 23:42:28 UTC 
Imho no eix problem:


emerge -S ubertooth 

*  net-wireless/ubertooth [ Masked ]
      Latest version available: 9999
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of files: 0 kB
      Homepage:      http://ubertooth.sourceforge.net/
      Description:   Based on the subversion eclass

Comment 4 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2012-07-29 01:28:06 UTC 
Having subversion.eclass reset the description is completely useless and imho the bug is not mine.  I have made my ebuilds uglier to support this, but please don't mistake that for me thinking this is "correct".


+  29 Jul 2012; Rick Farina <zerochaos@gentoo.org> ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild,
