* Update ebuild naming rules from PMS.Ulrich Müller2015-05-151-0/+5
| | | | | | | | PMS doesn't allow package names to begin with a hyphen or a plus sign, and also has some restrictions on how these names can end. Apply the same rules to leading characters of other files. This reflects the current status of the portage tree.

| * ebuild-writing/functions: Don't allow network accessW. Trevor King2014-09-031-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been a number of bugs filed to remove network access from ebuild phases [1,2,...], but until now this policy was undocumented here. We'll have to relax this restriction if the src_fetch [3,4,5] or pkg_fetch [6] proposals being discussed for EAPI-6 are accepted, but neither is currently mentioned in either the PMS [7] or Portage [8]. Portage *does* have a network-sandbox feature [9,10], which applies to all src_* phases except src_unpack (for live ebuilds). I think it should be applied to pkg_* phases too, but Michał thinks they may need networking "for some kind of IPC" [11]. Alexis pointed out that a strict network-sandbox will break distcc [12], but since that network access is the result of enabling a Portage feature (and not initiated by the ebuild or package itself), it falls outside the scope of this policy.

| * | ebuild-writing/common-mistakes: Mention the 'doc' USE flagW. Trevor King2014-09-141-2/+10
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reminding folks to install the docs, also remind them that they should be using the 'doc' USE flag for serious docs. This USE flag is the standard way to enable/disable doc installation, and we don't want ebuilds blindly pulling in doc depenencies regardless of how it's set. Use some of Ulrich Müller's wording [1].
