Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2009-11-06 14:18:21 UTC
eselect-1.2* now has a brief output mode (with option --brief), mainly intended for calling eselect from programs. Support for this requires some changes in modules, mainly in the "list" action:

- The "*" next to the active item should not be explicitly added. Use the
  "highlight_marker" function instead.
- In case of an empty list, nothing should be output if in brief output mode.
  Function write_numbered_list has a new "-m" option that will handle output
  modes correctly.

Documentation of the new features can be found in <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/eselect/dev-guide.xml>. Also see the tracker bug for details, especially bug 154511 comment #5 for a typical example of a do_list() function.

Please note that the ebuild of the fixed module should have a >=app-admin/eselect-1.2.3 dependency.
