Bug 105451 – net-misc/putty should have a versionstring in the about-field

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello,

currently when emerging putty there is only the text "Unidentified build" in the
about-Window (when being compiled with gtk+ support). This could be changed
easily by doing some sed-action inside the ebuild. I will attach a small patch
for the current 0.58 ebuild where you can see what I mean.

Created attachment 68079 [details, diff]
putty-0.58.ebuild.diff

I know this is rather trivial but be creative. I'm quite sure that anything
else than "Unidentified build" is better in the about-window.

Closing UPSTREAM, this is definitely not a critical patch, submit this to putty
authors, please.
