Apparently not, it's not that the change is complicated but I (and the rest of the gnome herd) would rather have an upfront information about any kind of changes to our ebuilds than discovering these through gentoo-commits... > > > For the moment you can find our own documentation here: > > http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/techdocs.xml > > Where did you document D -> ED? Can you briefly describe what it does? I'd also like to know why this cannot be handled by the usual D with package manager support, this would save a lot of changes to ebuilds (like the python abi stuff that still has no documentation afaik). I sincerely want to see progress in the way we handle prefix, python abis and all the cool stuff that is still in preparation, but let's do it in a way to makes every dev aware of it (sending a mail to gentoo-dev-announce for example), thanks. -- Gilles Dartiguelongue Gentoo
