ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata: Update restrict attribute The description currently says: "When this attribute is used, other tags with or without the restrict attribute must be present to cover all the versions of the package. A tag without the restrict attribute serves as the default." However, this is not reflected by the specification in GLEP 68. It appears to have originated from the old DevRel Handbook where it had been added in 2004: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/archive/proj/gentoo.git/tree/xml/htdocs/proj/en/devrel/handbook/hb-guide-metadata.xml?id=26d18f5f20f00e538b7af0d5a795008f3426d243#n135 Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm <AT> gentoo.org> ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml | 15 ++++++--------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml b/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml index bcc43f4..9c6bd76 100644 --- a/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml +++ b/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/text.xml @@ -285,15 +285,12 @@ There are also some attributes that can be used with these tags: <c><stabilize-allarches></c>, <c><flag></c> </ti> <ti> - The restrict attribute allows one to restrict the application of - certain tags to certain versions of a package.
