Maybe eix gets it wrong - both ebuilds in that directory have DESCRIPTION set properly, and both seem to have had it since their initial commit.
$ ebuildvar DESCRIPTION
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild : EAPI=4
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild : DESCRIPTION="
ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild : An open source wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation

ubertooth-9999.ebuild : DESCRIPTION="

ubertooth-9999.ebuild : "
normally you inherit eclasses before setting description.
This is how it is done in the ebuild:
DESCRIPTION="An open source wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation"
[...]
if [[ ${PV} == "9999" ]] ; then
ESVN_REPO_URI="https://ubertooth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ubertooth/trunk/"
SRC_URI=""
inherit subversion
[...]
and here "inherit subversion" overwrites the original description
Imho no eix problem:
emerge -S ubertooth
* net-wireless/ubertooth [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 9999
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of files: 0 kB
Homepage: http://ubertooth.sourceforge.net/
Description: Based on the subversion eclass

Having subversion.eclass reset the description is completely useless and imho the bug is not mine. I have made my ebuilds uglier to support this, but please don't mistake that for me thinking this is "correct". + 29 Jul 2012; Rick Farina <zerochaos@gentoo.org> ubertooth-0.0_p534.ebuild, + ubertooth-9999.ebuild: + resolve DESCRIPTION issue wrt bug #428304 OK. DESCRIPTION variable was removed from subversion.eclass. (In reply to comment #5) > OK. DESCRIPTION variable was removed from subversion.eclass. You sir, are awesome. Thank you. |
