[gentoo-dev] enew{user,group}: killing off [extra] argument

2011-11-02 Thread Mike Frysinger
when i first wrote enew{user,group} oh-so-long-ago, the reason for the [extra] arguments was the assumption that i am short sighted. i figured someone would come up with some creative need for passing additional flags that i couldn't possibly think of. however, in the ~9 years since, all i

It appears that when adding any new license, one needs to send a notice to gentoo-dev. I have added CCPL-Attribution-2.5 (see attachment or http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/legalcode) and added it to the FREE-DOCUMENTS license group (same as CCPL-Attribution-3.0, acked by Robin Jonson)*.

[gentoo-dev] ChangeLog in eclass dir (was: Old changelogs / eclass dir)

2011-11-02 Thread Andreas K. Huettel

[gentoo-dev] Rotating oversized ChangeLog files (was: Old changelogs / eclass dir)

2011-11-02 Thread Andreas K. Huettel
Dear all, 2) I'd like to suggest that for changelogs that grow beyond a certain size (e.g. profiles/ChangeLog) the file is rotated similar to /var/log logfiles. I.e. the current file is renamed with a date extension and a new file is started. This has the benefit that the archived file is
