Bug 308111 – python.eclass enhancement for man page needed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2010-03-06 20:42:24 UTC]

The variable RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS appears to be part of the public API of the eclass, but it isn't currently documented.

Look at this guide
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml

Things like RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS are not documented in the man page.

Yep, that's what I originally intended, sorry for being too vague.

Btw, the python guide is really nice, you could put a link to it in eclass's @DESCRIPTION, so that it appears in the generated man page.

python.eclass is deprecated. Closing as obsolete.
