Please update the packages with proper information about them. I don't
want to google the package name when the description should have been
right there in the package.
For all the things I added recently always I looked up the gentoo ebuild
for the summary and added a proper description from the website as well.
Ok good to know, I only checked the packages in the this commit.
Those I added long ago when trying to get libXpm building and I suppose
I ended up angry at the shitload of useless dependencies just for libXpm.
I don't think I follow. Even if you added something long ago, before
building the packages just now, it would have been the perfect time to
update the receipe to include proper descriptions. In any case, I would
prefer a no-excuses, already I am updating the packages first thing in
the morning...
libpthread-stubs is probably the funniest since it ends up building
nothing because we provide everything, so the package just contains a
.pc file :^)
I was wondering about that. Why do we need to have this dependency then?
Wouldn't a "proper" port remove it? On Haiku, the pthread stuff is
consistently available, no need to "shield" a software with stubs. It
feels a bit like you are rushing to provide XEmacs. (?)
