Bug 42915 – New ebuild Getopt-ArgvFile-1.06.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2004-02-25 12:26:38 UTC]

This module is a simple supplement to other option handling modules.
It allows script options and parameters to be read from files
instead of from the command line by interpolating file contents
into @ARGV. This way it PREPARES the final option handling.

Getopt::ArgvFile does NOT perform any option processing itself, and
should work fine together with any other option handling module
(e.g. Getopt::Long) or even self coded option handling.

Please read:

and then justify :)

If you are trying to point out that it could be handled by g-cpan, it's probably true, although this is the first time I've heard of this tool and do not know how to use it. Is there any documentation about g-cpan?

I have submitted this ebuild, because I needed Getopt-ArgvFile for another new ebuild, spamcup, and no other "getopt" ebuilds seemed to provide it.

Andrej,

Again, sorry for the confusion. I really didn't see that this was a blocker (as in, didn't see it on the screen, not couldn't accept the fact :) ), hence the reference to the policy guide. Should be hitting the mirrors in the next half hour or so.
