Please add examples for EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_DATE and EGIT_COMMIT_DATE. I wanted to use the date 20210106 for a git based pre-release ebuild but it only works if I convert it to 2021-01-06 . For this I have to do extra work in the ebuild. Would this be possible to implement it in the eclass? There should be a check for wrong date format and not fetch head instead. Is it advised to use EGIT_OVERRIDE_* instead of EGIT_COMMIT_* also in the ebuild file or on the command line only?
I tried: EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_DATE_PLASMA_*="2021-07-12" emerge -v1 kwin plasma-workspace kwayland-server but it looks as wildcards in are not possible in variables. bash says: -su: EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_DATE_PLASMA_*=2021-07-12: Kommando nicht gefunden. (command not found) So how can I do a @live-rebuild but checkout the kde gits at specific date? I don't want to write EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_DATE_... for every single one. EGIT_COMMIT_DATE would do it for all packages I rebuild.
