I've been doing this manually a lot lately, and I think this can be safely generalised. Firstly: perl-functions.eclass should have a function such as perl_wiki that constructs a series of variables: ${DIST_WIKI} -> "https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Perl/maint-notes/${CATEGORY}/${PN}" ${DIST_WIKI_FEATURES} -> "${DIST_WIKI}#Optional_Features" ${DIST_WIKI_TESTS} -> "${DIST_WIKI}#Testing" And perl-module.eclass should have a bash array like: DIST_WIKI=( "features" "tests" ) When DIST_WIKI includes "features", pkg_postinst should automatically do: ewarn "This package may require additional dependencies/steps for some optional features." ewarn "For details, see:" ewarn " ${DIST_WIKI_FEATURES}" When DIST_WIKI includes "tests", src_install should automatically do: ewarn "This package may require additional dependencies/steps for comprehensive testing" ewarn "For details, see:" ewarn " ${DIST_WIKI_TESTS}" That way, if later we don't like how this is implemented in wiki, we can reorient it somewhat. And if the wiki eventually gets a better namespace to link to this stuff, we can migrate it to the new URL easily. The objective here is to make the wikification consistent.
I also think there may be a better, offline-accessible way to stash this content, but this is the best I've got so far.
