[Description Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-08-06 06:29:10 UTC]

info2flags -h
/usr/sbin/info2flags: line 27: dohelp: command not found

perhaps relying on a newer portage version?

emerge info output:

Nope, I never wrote the help functions in genflags yet.
Patches accepted.

Help function for host2flags, tone down standard CFLAGS.

Alright, help function for host2flags, let me know if you like it.
This patch also tones down the standard CFLAGS to -O2, please commit this
unmodified.
Specifying -O3 by default is generally a bad idea, as it overoptimizes. Not
only is -O2 faster, it has less tendency to break compiles. (And since this
tool aims to specify flags that Just Work(TM), -O2 seems more appropriate).

Created attachment 21050 [details, diff]
Add help function to info2flags.

[Comment 4 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 13:13:01 UTC]

Created attachment 21052 [details, diff]
Adds help function to info2host

Right, then this concludes things.
I'm still wondering who added those patches in the diff's, they are not in my
originals. Note that I specify the dohelp above the commandline-parsing, you
need to have defined the function before you can use it, in bashscript.
This is why the example help function in this file didn't work.

s/those patches/those tabs

Comment makes a lot more sense this way.

[Comment 6 Robin Johnson 2004-01-18 17:38:59 UTC]

fixed for 0.95 (coming out shortly).
