I would like the portage devs to comment upon which of the following featur=
es=20
they think could easily be implemented before portage 2.2 goes stable.=20
There's still some time since it hasn't left package.mask yet, so I'd rathe=
r=20
they exclude the features that will take too long to implement than anybody=
=20
else doing that...
Already implemented:
=2D Use dependencies, it's not clear to me whether we all agree entirely up=
on
the syntax yet though (bugs #2272 and #174406)
Things I believe should be trivial to implement:
=2D Custom output names in SRC_URI, also called arrows (bug #177863)
=2D Guarantee trailing slashes (bug #174408)
=2D Limit values in $USE (bug #176467)
=2D doins support for symlinks (bug #179932)
=2D Enable FEATURES=3Dtest by default (bug #184812)
=2D GLEP 42 - news items
Bigger features I'm interested in:
=2D Making do* die on failure by default (without changing their behaviour =
for
previous eapis). Possibly adding either nonfatal or try_do* for cases whe=
re=20
this isn't desired. (bug #138792)
=2D More phases
- src_prepare, for applying patches and running autotools etc.
- src_configure, for running configure scripts (bug #197859)
- pkg_pretend (bug #177860 - could also be used to fix bug #75936)
- maint_*, it's not clear to me if this has been fleshed out in sufficient
detail yet (bug #185567)
=2D default_*, allows an ebuild to redefine phases to add more functionalit=
y and
then call default_$phase. Currently the default phases are lost when
redefining the phases.
=2D default for src_install (bug #33544)
=2D Ranged dependencies (bug #4315)
Of course I'd like GLEPs 54 and 55 too but since the council still hasn't m=
ade=20
a decision about them I'll leave them out..
=2D-=20
