Description Andrew Ross (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

DESCRIPTION is set before calling inherit, which then redefines DESCRIPTION. This causes the results of "emerge search mod_php" to display the wrong DESCRIPTION.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge search mod_php

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


Expected Results:  
Output of emerge search should contain " Description: Apache module for PHP"

I didn't submit a patch for this, because it's not simply a matter of moving the
inherit call to the start of the ebuild (robbat2 can explain further - or just
read the ebuild).

Obviously, you can simply move line setting DESCRIPTION to after the inherit
call, but I don't know if you want to keep IUSE, KEYWORDS, and DESCRIPTION
together or not.
