Description Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

From Peter Simons (simons(a)cryp-to) sent to www@gentoo.org:

"""
The page shows, among other things, the necessary lines to
configure Emacs for editing Ebuilds. It says:

 | Code Listing 2.3: Configuring emacsrc for ebuild-editing
 |
 | (defun ebuild-mode ()
 |   (shell-script-mode)
 |   (sh-set-shell "bash")
 |   (make-local-variable 'tab-width)
 |   (setq tab-width 4))
 | (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.ebuild\\'" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))
 | (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.eclass\\'" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))

I think there is a mistake in the last two lines. At least
on my machine, these have to look like this:

  (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.ebuild$" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))
  (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.eclass$" . ebuild-mode) auto-mode-alist))

Just thought I'd let you know.
