Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-15 07:25:42 UTC
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

I've just changed it to "Gentoo."
