Re: [gentoo-dev] Need a use-expanded TV_GRAB variable for xmltv
The options are just : 1) local flags or 2) expanded var. 3) I've also tried to reuse the LINGUAS expanded flag but is something hackish: not enogh control to the ebuild, people in foreign country can do nothing, there are some issues for country with non-exclusive language (think about switzerland, reunion island or south africa.). I happily let you choose which way is the best,please do it fast mattepiu Jakub Moc wrote: Matteo Azzali wrote: Repoman considers lots of local variables as an error, I was pointed to expanded vars as a solution.

I already did it , check http://pastebin.com/759475 , but truedfx wrote : Please don't do that. LINGUAS is for translations, nothing more, and using it for xmltv grabbers will be a huge pain for everyone using different languages than implied by their locations. My solution is 3 use flags, tv_check , tv_pick_cgi and onlinguas. If onlinguas is set, ebuild will emerge based on LINGUAS, if is unset it will emerge the complete XMLTV (deps and grabbers). From what vapier told, the only other viable alternative is local use flag, and if I'll not get a different definitive answer from anyone else before tomorrow, I'll follow vapier instructions (he's Gentoo Base System Project Leader ). mattepiu Doug Goldstein wrote: Jakub Moc wrote: Matteo Azzali wrote: Repoman considers lots of local variables as an error, I was pointed to expanded vars as a solution.

Well, TV_GRAB is synthetical , but explains what this variable is,however, how about TV_GRABBER or TV_LOCALE or TV_GRABBER_LOC ?

Repoman considers lots of local variables as an error, I was pointed to expanded vars as a solution.
