Bug 292119 – app-admin/eselect-wxwidgets: support brief output mode

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulrich Müller 2009-11-06 14:37:37 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.

I've committed a fix to SVN (r719 in the eselect repository).
Please tell me if I should do a release for you.

thanks ulm :D

i think i'll do the release, there's a couple other things i should tweak.  is there a minimum version of eselect to depend on for this?
