I think the question isn't 'why is this functionality being made available'; I think to me it is useful piece of code. I question its inclusion in the PM though; I would rather see it in eutils or something similar. Arguably you could inherit a function from eutils that does SRC_URI transformation for you. SRC_URI="foo bar baz;sf=tbz2" src_uri_gitize would transform "baz;sf=tbz2" into "baz;sf=tbz2 -> baz.tar.bz2" > > - -- > Thanks, > Zac > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAkjA4iMACgkQ/ejvha5XGaOPxwCfWolOw1zC+VbgrGrFQXqRwoXn > vDoAoOLGL+PXhyCb2+cmAI4INLfO9reS > =TXwO > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >
