Protocol."

Comment 1 Roman Majer 2003-02-14 01:28:37 UTC
huh ...  
 
from the ebuild file: 
 
... 
DESCRIPTION="LDAP suite of application and development tools" 
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.OpenLDAP.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-release/${P}.tgz" 
HOMEPAGE="http://www.OpenLDAP.org/" 
... 
 
please, where you've got your message ?? 
Comment 2 Tom von Schwerdtner 2003-02-14 01:39:46 UTC
Ah, I see the problem.  'eutils' is being imported after the DESCRIPTION is set.  "emerge search openldap" shows this:


*  net-nds/openldap
      Latest version available: 2.0.27-r2
      Latest version installed: 2.0.27-r2
      Size of downloaded files: 1,274 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.OpenLDAP.org/
      Description: Based on the eutils eclass


....though I'm not sure what good it is to have a DESCRIPTION set in an eclass...
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-02-14 02:49:43 UTC
it's not a problem with the eclass it's a problem with people not understanding
that when they inherit an eclass, it setups up variables (possibly overwriting)
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-02-14 03:06:49 UTC
i'm just going to leave this open as a reminder to keep cleaning up ebuilds that are incorrect like this ;)
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-03-10 06:16:20 UTC
should be all set now
