[gentoo-dev] eclasses v3 released

[gentoo-dev] eclasses v3 released

[Dan Armak]

Hi all,

Anyone who's working on the eclasses: I have just released a new and 
considerably different version. Please read howto.* and news.txt in 
/usr/portage/eclass/doc for details. In short, the kde-* eclasses have been 
redesigned to inherit from one another.

I hope no one is yet deep enough into the mess to mind large changes. 
Verwilst - my apologies :-)

Hopefully this is the last big change to be made. From now on I'll just make 
small changes.

IMHO, no one else _should_ be deep into this (if not for helping Dan on
the KDE ebuilds/eclasses). This is a very cool feature but I think we
should wait until it's been fully tested on the KDE-stuff before
starting to use it all over the place.

Well, yes, that's what I meant. Any testers welcome. Help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

(And btw: eclasses v3.1 are out, with the addition of debug.eclass)

I agree, and I think it needs to be repeated that only Dan Armak should be
writing these kinds of ebuilds.  They are only for prototyping purposes and
should *not* be emulated by others.  Dan Armak, please remember this or we
will kill the project.

Euh, if this is about me, i never worked on the eclasses, but i package KDE 
apps, so i need to use them... He just explained how to do it, and it's 
changed again :) That's what he meant....

Yes, and what I meant is that Dan Armak should the only one using them, period.
That means you can't use them.

I understand and agree that verwilst (or anyone else) shouldn't be using 
eclasses or his day-today work and all his ebuilds. I do think he should help 
me test them, because two testers are always much better than one. I 
introduced Verwilst to eclasses wih this purpose, perhaps I was wrong to do 
so on his first day as a Gentoo developer. Since you hink I should do this 
strictly alone, I will.

I have treated this project as the future step or kde ebuilds. I understand 
that this may not necessarily come to pass, I just hope that it will and I 
work toward that goal. That is, I'm trying to create something good enough to 
justify a major change. I'm sorry if people misunderstood me.

If what drobbins really mean is that Dan should be doing this job alone
without any help from other developers, then I strongly disagree. The
major point about any community project like this is teamwork. That is
what attracts developers. We are not attracted to a TODO-list where we can
pick our tasks and complete them in isolation. That is not what Gentoo
should be about.


If on the other hand, drobbins' argument is against Dan seemingly
recruiting any and all, or newcomers to Gentoo, then I understand it a bit
more. While I still think Dan should be entitled to recruit the help of
any of the other Gentoo developers, Dan should perhaps have handled things
a bit differently and required that Verwilst sent the eclass-based ebuilds
directly to himself instead checking it into CVS.


On a more practical note, I really think major changes like this chould be
done on CVS branches, so that we can afford doing really heavy changes
without fear of troubling our users.


Kind regards,

Karl T

I understood him to mean that developers could elp me in testing and 
developin, but that they couldn't use eclasses in their routine gentoo work 
because we don't know yet if or when or in what fom eclasses will be made a 
part of gentoo proper.

They are masked while in cvs. I think that's generally enough protection. It' 
much more comfortable than mailing files to one another.

I second that.

First of all, Dan didn't 'recruite' me, drobbins did, and i'm trying to do
the
best i can for Gentoo, i really love the distro, otherwise i wouldn't want
to become
a developer on it.
Secondly, i sent all the eclass-based ebuild to Dan for his approval, I
never submitted
them myself using cvs. I have (or at least i had, hope i still have it) a
non-eclass kdevelop
ebuild... I can replace that with the eclass-based one if you want...

Bye

No - my inheriting mod is kdevelop-2.0.1-r1.ebuild and is masked. Enter yours 
as 2.0.1, release 0.

Meaning, he dont talk about accepting Bart as developer, but Bart
fiddeling with the eclasses.  Since Dan asked Bart to help, I think it
is for Dan and D. Robbins to sort out.

Bart: you stress too much dude :)

Hi!

First of all (and this is nothing against Verwilst) I would appriciate
if I was informed before a new developer joins the Desktop Team. 

About the ebuilds, I think that it would be a good idea if _only_ Dan
checked them in. It would be ok to ask help from others to send you
ebuild and test the ones that you check in. By this procedure you can
control the ebuild/eclasses before commiting them. 

Also if only you commit them people reading commit-logs will only see
you commit to this "project". If lots of people commits eclasses/ebuilds
that uses eclasses some people might be confused that it's ok.
