Created attachment 353572 [details, diff] hb-policy-ebuild.xml.patch Please see the attached patch, changes made: 1. CVS is changed to VCS. 2. References to "cvs.eclass" are changed to "VCS eclass based ebuild"; to give an example, for the first occurrence we make a mention of git-2.eclass. 3. An actual change in policy, to reflect the policy we use nowadays; whenever it was said to keyword something as ~[arch] it now reads to not give the ebuild any keywords. For reference see the discussion at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/68885 which could be interpreted as a consensus; if not and if there is doubt, feel free to refer to the QA team. This old policy was something I read in my early mentee days, I was some months later corrected at some point by reading other documentation as well as when asking; coming back to it now with some discussion about whether this is a policy, I as well as others forget about its existence, but someone looked it up and pointed out a policy on this actually exists. But, it conflicts which what is written and said in multiple other places. I think that as developers barely know this policy exists, that it was never really looked at and as a result never got updated to the way we currently do things; therefore, to avoid any confusion as well as to have a policy to refer to please update hb-policy-ebuild.xml (see URL for what page I am referring to). Thank you in advance.
This document is outdated and deprecated. Such info should be moved to devmanual. Which sort-of makes it duplicate of bug 421993
