Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2017-03-12 13:32:49 UTC 
Instead of using unreliable code to generate eclass manpages on the run, please provide ebuilds using pregenerated tarballs of generated manpages. This has the foolowing benefits:

1. it works for everyone,

2. upgrades are handled correctly instead of relying on the user rebuilding the package,

3. the package does not violate any policies.

PR looks good for me.

    app-portage/eclass-manpages: Add a snapshot of today's manpages, #612424
    
    Add a snapshot ebuild that fetches an archive of today's eclasses. This
    has stable contents and as such can be keyworded properly. Furthermore,
    any future snapshots added will ensure a clear upgrade path for users.
