[gentoo-dev] List of ebuild functions that die/do not die

2008-12-24 Thread Thomas Sachau
As it seems like noone else is doing something about it, i have started a list 
with some entries[1].
Please send me more functions and their place and error reports directly to me 
(via mail or irc).

I thought that the rules for determination were pretty straightforward:

commands that die:
everything that is implemented as a function (ebuild.sh, eclasses, etc)

commands that don't die:
every external application (do*, cp, etc)

Technically the rule is that eclasses shouldn't die. At least that's the 
latest version of the rules that I remember.

eclasses shouldn't die or functions inside eclasses shouldn't die? I
meant the latter:

s/(ebuild.sh/(inside ebuild.sh/
