|
|
after reading the ebuild-guide on gentoo.org there still remain some questions. what exactly is the use of the line starting with # $Header: especially the part after the date / time (what's that for btw? ) is this the nick of the ebuild's author? |

This is a CVS specific tag. Everytime a file (which is under cvs controll) gets updated, the update informations are reflected in this header. The nick you've talked about, is the user name of the person which has made the last cvs commit.
