You can easily compare two ebuilds' KEYWORDS, > when you have the same order. I assume you mean comparison between versions, what happens a lot when doing ebuild updates. In that case order doesn't matter as long as it stays consistent. What happens right now is that order is far from consistent with some developers applying their own devised alpha ordering whenever they touch a package. So the problem is not so much what ordering is preferable, but that people change order without discussing it. > maintainer's arch should be stored in the metadata, if there > is a need for. Maintainer's arch could be ebuild/slot specific. I'm not yet convinced metadata is the right place. - foser --=-to378YU6WOTiAKgj8JQs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCqD/H8WG+0iaGxDMRAq5pAKDskj3A/dLmmuu4jp2WoAsp5pPV4QCfZWA8 0y0RG+Y8Ilflk2XnKy4o3y4= =IPgb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-to378YU6WOTiAKgj8JQs-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
