Description Kevyn Shortell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-23 04:19:46 UTC
All of the KDE 3 ebuilds have {DESCRIPTION} in the package info. Most of them
had one word descriptions.

At minimal, {DESCRIPTION} needs to be corrected to what I assume should say KDE.
Comment 1 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-24 15:12:57 UTC
This is correct; ${DESCRIPTION} is defined in kde-dist.eclass as "KDE $PV - "  
and is extended in the ebuilds. So you get a final result of e.g. "KDE 3.0.2 -  
Base" (but emerge -s doesn't support eclasses and displays a string wiht  
'${DESCRIPTION}' in it).  
  
This is from the era when I wanted to see how small eclass-using ebuilds could 
get, and so removed two words from every DESCRIPTION up into the eclasses. Not 
a very pretty thing I agree, and I'll fill in more detailed, and completely 
local, descriptions. 
Comment 2 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-30 05:55:07 UTC
Done.
