Bug 324187 – [devmanual] Inconsistency regarding location of KEYWORDS variable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org

[Description Ralph Sennhauser (RETIRED) 2010-06-15 20:27:37 UTC]

http://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-writing/ says under Eclass Variables: "The KEYWORDS variable must not be set in an eclass."

The PMS list under 8.2 KEYWORDS as a mandatory ebuild variable. This leaves the ebuild as the only place. Also stated in http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html under required variables.

Therefore the sentence "Every ebuild should specify a KEYWORDS variable." in http://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html should be changed to "Every ebuild must specify a KEYWORDS variable."

Reproducible: Always

If you submit a patch against the source code, it could possibly be fixed faster. :) http://sources.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=devmanual.git;a=summary
