Description Andrew Ross (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2004-03-30 04:30:46 UTC

The unixODBC-2.2.8.ebuild sets variables (including DESCRIPTION) before calling inherit. The inherited eclasses then overwrite DESCRIPTION, causing the results of "emerge search unixODBC" to be incorrect.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge search unixODBC

Actual Results:  
Output of emerge search contains "Description: Based on the gnuconfig eclass"


Expected Results:  
Output of emerge search should contain "Description: ODBC Interface for Linux"

Apologies if this has been submitted under the wrong component - wasn't sure if
I should use "Applications" or "Ebuilds". Is "Ebuilds" only intended for
submitting ebuilds, or also for reporting bugs in ebuilds (such as this)?

Do you prefer patches created using "diff" or "diff -u" (or something else)?
