May I add the following issues? + One more case of seperate instead of separate + Most titles name the problem, some name the right way to do things. + Missing <!--$Header$ --> at beginning + $Header$ expanded by CVS in the text, specially where we really do not want it to be expanded. Replace trailing $ with $ to prevent CVS from expanding. Thanks for reporting the issues. I've committed the fixed version now. |
* "Missing/Invalid/Broken Header" First part doesn't make sense. I think it should be changed to liquidx' guide: (It's 2004!) "When you submit your ebuilds, the header should be exactly the same as the one in /usr/portage/skel.ebuild. Most importantly, do not modify it in anyway and make sure that the "$Header: $" line is intact. The first three lines must look like this: # Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: $" * Including version numbers in $SRC_URI and $S "You should try not to include version numbers in the SRC_URI and $S." -> $SRC_URI BTW: Variables are totally inconsistent: (with or without $: $P, $PV, $PN, $PF, $SRC_URI, $S ,IUSE, DEPEND, LICENSE, HOMEPAGE, SLOT,... with or without {}: ${PV} or ${P} inside or not of <c> environment). I think it would be better to change to _one_ way of writing. * DEPEND is incomplete "...in here. things to look out for ..." -> T * Package Updates should have description -> "Package updates without description of changes" because all other headlines are described in the negativ way (describe the error).
