I might look at adding Perl (and maybe Ruby) support if nobody else does. Feel free to submit it to ::gentoo. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-dev] Announcing a utility for updating metadata.xml files
Hi lists, You might know about the `app-portage/metagen` utility that generates metadata.xml files with your name and email. But there was no tool that autofilled upstream information, so I wrote it. Using it is as simple as: $ gentle foo-0.1.ebuild You can install it as `app-portage/gentle` from the ::guru repository or download it from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gentle-mxml/ The tool uses Portage API to unpack source code into a temporary directory and guess from that data. Pkgcraft will be supported once its bindings gain ability to call phase functions. There are problems with Pkgcore, so it's not supported. Contributions (especially fixing bugs and adding new generators) are welcome! P.S. There's a similar project called upstream-ontologist[0]. I didn't know about it when I started the project and now it's too late. [0]: https://pypi.org/project/upstream-ontologist/
