Summary
GNU diction and style are free implementations of old standard unix commands, that are not available on many modern systems, because they have been unbundled. Diction prints wordy and commonly misused phrases. Style analyses surface characteristics of a document, e.g. sentence length and various readability measures, but unlike the original code, it lacks sentence type, word usage and most sentence beginning processing. Both commands support English and German documents.

app-text/diction: fix compilation on non-glibc platforms
some weird fallback for non-glibc platforms defined getenv without argument, but getenv really needs an argument, so defining it without is not going to work with recent compilers this fixes compilation on musl, macOS, Solaris, etc. Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/969099 Signed-off-by: Fabian Groffen <grobian@gentoo.org> - Repository mirror & CI · gentoo

proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H.
