Sorry, a bit of misunderstanding with seemant ^^; I've just changed it to "Gentoo." |
Currently, xorg-x11 ebuilds defines the XVendorString directive as: Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation ${PV}, revision ${PR}-${PATCH_VER}) but, xorg-x11 can be build by portage also on non-Linux systems (g/fbsd for example), and this vendor string is not a good one for those cases. An overlay or arch-conditional solution can be used, but will require more time to maintain it. Instead, we can use directly on the base ebuilds something like that: Gentoo Foundation (The X.Org Foundation ${PV}, revision ${PR}-${PATCH_VER}) In this case the vendor string is the same both on linux and non-linux systems. At least it's one diff less to do on ebuilds :) HTH, Diego
