Description Alvaro Figueroa (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-27 09:33:09 UTC
I'm noticing that none of the app-dict/aspell-* ebuilds has DESCRIPTION variable
defined, witch makes it a bit unconfortable to make searches like the following:

$ emerge search esperanto
Searching...   
[ Results for search key : esperanto ]
[ Applications found : 0 ]

I still haven't had my way arround the inherit thing, so I don't know if there
is a way to put a description on top of that ebuilds, or if it is necesary to
add this variable to each and every one of them, but I would be extremly nice to
hace and description for them.

actually, they do have a description -- it's just inherited from the aspell.eclass
Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-27 22:18:15 UTC
Nick, the description is a generic one in the eclass, with a variable defined in
the ebuilds for the actual language of the dicts, so portage should be able to
cache such things...

emerge search === emerge -s

emerge search --searchdesc == emerge -S


# emerge -S esperanto
