Bugzilla Bug 50552

Hello,

This is a new ebuild for a program (or actually a very advanced Bash-script) called ^txt2regex$ (http://txt2regex.sourceforge.net). It is a great aid when creating regular expressions for a hand full of different languages (Perl, PHP etc). It transforms rules from plain text to regex.

I have created a small patch that corrects the Man-path in the Makefile, and also removes some Makefile output.

I suggest dev-util/txt2regex as category and name. Please find attatched txt2regex-0.7.ebuild and txt2regex-0.7-makefile.patch.

I want to become an Gentoo Developer, and this is my first contribution. Please give me some critique on it, and if possible, give me something else I could do =)

I forgot to add "newman txt2regex.man txt2regex.6" which installs the man-file.

I've committed a slightly modified version to CVS. I made the following
changes:

* Slightly shorter DESCRIPTION
* No need for the patch, we can just pass MANDIR=
* Use einstall instead of make install
* No need for that DOCS global thing
* Added ~sparc ~mips to KEYWORDS, since I can test on those. I left in ~x86,
since I assume you tested on that :)

Thanks very much for your contribution. Feel free to come on irc.freenode.net
and pester me if you'd like to discuss any ebuild-related things (my nick is

Arch people -- this one's a bash script, so it should be arch neutral. Please
consider adding in a keyword for your arch if you feel it's appropriate.

Simple test case:
* run txt2regex from inside a terminal
* ensure the display looks reasonable
* press a few number keys and check that the regexes are generated properly
* press . twice to exit

And another:
* Run "txt2regex --prog perl --make number2" and check that the output
resembles:

### number LEVEL 2: level 1 plus optional float point

 RegEx perl: [+-]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]{2})?

Keyworded ~alpha.

~amd64

added hppa

Marking as FIXED.
