The difference is that putting the EAPI in the filename has backwards compatibility because package managers not knowing about this change won't even look at the those ebuilds. Putting EAPI as the fifth line completely loses this, so as far as backwards compatibility goes putting EAPI 55 in the filename really is the cleanest. --=20 --------- Thomas Anderson Gentoo Developer ///////// Areas of responsibility: AMD64, Secretary to the Gentoo Council --------- --p4qYPpj5QlsIQJ0K Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkoP98gACgkQF6yMcaBxwHkVhQCfeGaVeeI1HJDoItGsoC5HpPyF PLEAoIqkaj7Tn33xRGg+aJl7fgqdY6BP =M8dA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --p4qYPpj5QlsIQJ0K--
