Hello, attached is hyphen_show-20000425.ebuild. "hyphen_show" is a program that scans a DVI-file, tries to find all hyphenations and writes them to stdout. It is useful to check whether TeX's hyphenation algorithm really did the good job it is supposed to do. The program is especially useful for languages other than English where TeX is almost guaranteed to hyphenate words where they shouldn't be hyphenated (composite nouns in German being an infamous example). Trying to spot all erroneous hyphenations by looking at the complete manuscript is almost impossible when things reach thesis length. The package should be filed under category dev-tex, I suppose.

Please fix the following and reopen: * It's probably cleaner to use versionator.eclass for the substitution. * http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/gcc.txt

Hi, I was wondering what the real name of the package was : hyphen_show or hyphen-show ? The name on the debian page uses a '-' (and gentoo prefers those to '_' when possible) but the executable name has an underscore... This is all quite confusing. Otherwise, your ebuild is nice and works fine here.
The upstream name of the package is "hyphen_show" with an underscore. However, Debian's naming policy do not allow underscores in package names, so they had to change their package name to use an hyphen. (See <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Package>, section 5.6.7.) I believe it is more appropriate to use the upstream name of the package. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Committed. Thanks for the contribution. It's maintained by the text-markup herd, although Alexandre will take direct care of this package once he gets dev status.
