* pkg-mgr-commands.tex: Document *.z suffix in unpackUlrich Müller2024-09-101-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Portage has accepted the lowercase *.z and *.tar.z suffixes for gzip-compressed files since version 2.0.24 in 2002: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/archive/proj/portage-cvs.git/commit/?id=322d745eff81a5e647b70c3d55bee5dd17e08296 This won't make any difference for newer EAPIs (where unpack's suffix matching is case-insensitive).

* pkg-mgr-commands.tex: Clarify "skipped silently" in unpackUlrich Müller2024-09-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous wording was added in commit 634c32f with the EAPI 3 (later to become EAPI 4) draft. The commit message doesn't give any rationale for "silently". It may well be that the wording is a remnant of the rejected "unpack --if-compressed" feature.

* pms.cls: Use sans serif font for title and headingsUlrich Müller2024-06-111-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This tries to update the printed version to have a more modern look. It is somewhat inspired by the KOMA-Script classes, e.g. scrreprt.cls, which also use sans-serif fonts for their headings. Slightly reduce the size of chapter headings (again, inspired by KOMA-Script, with the headings=normal package option). Note that the Helvetica font specified by helvet.sty was never used, see also the commit message of commit 9d68105. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>

* Use sentence case throughoutUlrich Müller2024-05-0821-70/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | Subsection headings were already changed from title case to sentence case in commit ca463ce. This left chapter and section headings alone, which is inconsistent (although it is specified by some style guides like APA). This commit changes headings to sentence case throughout, following most other Gentoo documentation, e.g. wiki and devmanual. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | Add "test_privileged" to the values of "PROPERTIES", as introduced in Portage commit 997058a825a340813532bef77a34425cf4a88eb2 (to be included in 3.0.62). This is akin to "test_network", used to indicate that the test suite needs superuser privileges.

* ebuild-env-vars.tex: EBUILD_PHASE{,_FUNC} are valid only in phasesUlrich Müller2024-02-221-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Portage didn't ever set (or unset) these variables to a special value when sourcing the ebuild, so obviously ebuilds cannot rely on this. Restrict their validity to actual phases and make global scope behaviour unspecified. The previous wording was introduced with commit 58d3bc0.

* ebuild-env-vars.tex: Clarify that D is not valid in pkg_postinstUlrich Müller2023-12-291-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | D in pkg_* phases was first mentioned in SVN r74 (commit f627e46102c6) as a variable specific to the pkg_preinst phase function (replacing IMAGE). pkg_postinst was added in r88 (commit 3da3ee561f1a), but this was reverted in r89 (commit 65c466317718) "D in pkg_postinst == bad". pkg_postinst reappeared when the env vars section was converted to a table in commit 58d3bc0e8301. According to chapter 13 "Merging and Unmerging", the method used to perform the merge is not specified, and merging a regular file or a directory may alter or remove its source under D. Therefore, trying to access any file in D during the postinst phase is an error. The scope of ED follows that of D.

* pkg-mgr-commands.tex: Sandbox commands accept any fileUlrich Müller2023-12-241-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The sandbox commands addread, addwrite, addpredict and adddeny can accept not only directories, but also other files like regular files or device nodes. This behaviour is supported by all three package managers. Also, the sandbox's default configuration relies on it (e.g. "/dev/null" and "${HOME}/.bash_history" in /etc/sandbox.conf), and it is widely used in the Gentoo repository.

* pkg-mgr-commands.tex: Drop CONF_LIBDIR* and DEFAULT_ABIUlrich Müller2023-05-041-26/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CONF_LIBDIR variable was used exclusively in the 2004.3 profile (i.e. it was no longer defined in 2005.0). Portage support for CONF_LIBDIR was added by this commit: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/archive/proj/portage-cvs.git/commit/?id=ecc2faaa00b1e6250129267ba873bedd2121eac5 Note that neither the ABI nor the LIBDIR_${ABI} variable existed at the time. The CONF_LIBDIR_OVERRIDE and DEFAULT_ABI variables were never implemented in the dolib* and einstall commands in Portage. With the three variables dropped, the algorithm is identical to the logic used for get_libdir(). Therefore drop alg:ebuild-libdir and refer to alg:get-libdir instead.

* names.tex: Specify eclass namesUlrich Müller2023-01-182-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eclasses may export phase functions prefixed with their name, so ideally we would follow the syntax of Bash (and POSIX) identifiers: | A word consisting solely of underscores, digits, and alphabetics | from the portable character set. The first character of a name is | not a digit. Because many existing eclasses have a dot or a hyphen in their name, we follow usage in the Gentoo repository instead. (The only historical exception to the above was 64-bit.eclass, not used since 2006 and removed in 2009.) An eclass must not be named "default", otherwise names of exported functions would collide with default_<phase-function>. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>

* ebuild-env-vars.tex: D is available as a variable in all src_* phasesUlrich Müller2023-01-091-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The D variable has been described as a "phase-specific variable" since the spec's early draft stage (SVN r19). However, Portage would always define the variable in all src_* phases, with the restriction that the directory would exist only in src_install(). In reality, not all ebuilds comply with the spec. For example, Perl eclasses use D in src_configure(), i.e. they rely on Portage behaviour. Therefore, lift this unnecessary and somewhat artificial restriction and make the variable (but not the directory) available outside the install phase. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>

* pkg-mgr-commands.tex: Update condition for econf --disable-static (again)Ulrich Müller2022-11-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intention is to pass --disable-static, in order to (only) disable static libtool archive building. The current condition asks for either of --{disable,enable}-static in configure --help output, which causes false positives: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/message/efc3f424d1dffd3415da538ec25532a9 Therefore, narrow the condition to require both --enable-static and --enable-shared. In addition, backport the check for proper end of string from the EAPI 9 feature list, but restrict it to this option for now.
