New on #blog: pkgbump: from a dumb tool to an irreplaceable helper

"""
Bumping packages is one of the most common tasks of a #Gentoo developer. It shouldn’t then be surprising that it is the one most asking for some kind of automation, and that the #pkgbump script would be one of the first scripts to become a part of the mgorny-dev-scripts package.

Today’s pkgbump have come a long way from the trivial script of its first iteration. The most recent versions finally feature the feature I desired for a long time: version manipulation. This also made it possible for the script to become a complete version bumping tool rather than just a part of a larger workflow. In this post, I’d like to shortly tell the story behind the changes, and demonstrate the new options.
