Bug 10845 – addition to Gentoo Linux Developers HOWTO docs for emacs users (currently a TODO)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-developer

If you're using GNU Emacs, you can put the following in your ~/.emacs:

(defun ebuild-mode ()
  (shell-script-mode)
  (sh-set-shell "bash")
  (make-local-variable 'tab-width)
  (setq tab-width 4))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.ebuild\\'" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.eclass\\'" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))
---cut---

Background: this defines a simple function which inherits everything from Emacs'
shell-script mode and sets a few variables for .ebuild and .eclass editing. I've
been using this for about a year for my own dev work. It works fine for me.
