Description Karl-Johan Karlsson 2011-02-28 17:38:06 UTC
kde-base/kubrick (all versions currently in Portage - 4.4.5, 4.5.5 and 4.6.0) has a backslash escape on a singlequote in the DESCRIPTION string in the ebuild. The other 862 ebuilds in the current tree that have a singlequote in DESCRIPTION do not escape it, therefore I assume kubrick is wrong.

creideiki ~ $ find /usr/portage/ -name '*.ebuild' -print0 | xargs -0 grep ^DESCRIPTION | grep -F "'" | wc -l
865

creideiki ~ $ find /usr/portage/ -name '*.ebuild' -print0 | xargs -0 grep ^DESCRIPTION | grep -F "\\'"
/usr/portage/kde-base/kubrick/kubrick-4.6.0.ebuild:DESCRIPTION="KDE: Kubrick is a games based on \"Rubik\'s Cube\" puzzle."
/usr/portage/kde-base/kubrick/kubrick-4.5.5.ebuild:DESCRIPTION="KDE: Kubrick is a games based on \"Rubik\'s Cube\" puzzle."
/usr/portage/kde-base/kubrick/kubrick-4.4.5.ebuild:DESCRIPTION="KDE: Kubrick is a games based on \"Rubik\'s Cube\" puzzle."
