[gentoo-council] EAPI 2 Approval Process

[gentoo-council] EAPI 2 Approval Process

[Doug Goldstein]

How does everyone feel about bringing up EAPI 2 this week. While the
thread on gentoo-dev is fairly short lived (4 days as of this e-mail)
the biggest point of contention appears to be:

 * The 'unpack' helper function recognizes ;sf=tbz2 and ;sf=tgz
   extensions, for interoperability with gitweb.

overlapping with:

 * SRC_URI supports a syntax extension which allows customization
   of output file names by using a "->" operator.

If everyone wants we can just discuss it this week and bring it up for
final approval on the ML or at the next meeting this month.

I agree that we should discuss it and I want to emphasize that this 
discussion should happen on the mailing lists. Discussion is a poor use 
of time at our meetings.

Hi.

The discussion about EAPI-2 has settled down for a few days and Zac just
finished adding the last features to Portage. He's planning to release
an updated portage version with complete support for EAPI-2 tomorrow.
Thus, I would like to formally request the council members to discuss
this EAPI and to approve it.

That's great!

If there is already consensus I think there isn't much to discuss for us =)
