Hi everyone,=20
since Council has approved the creation of a fresh set of EAPI=3D5 "13.0"=20
profiles, I would like to volunteer for creating them. The proposed procedu=
re=20
is outlined below in detail, and I'd be happy for comments.=20
[If anything below deviates from Council decision, please tell me- not my=20
intention.]
One general question comes first, though: Right now, the releases/10.0 prof=
ile=20
directory does the following things:
* mask too-old portage
* set eapi
* add USE=3Dbzip2
Is there anything unrelated to EAPI=3D5 that absolutely must be added to th=
e new=20
releases/13.0 directory in addition in your opinion? (Whether this is the=20
right place and was the right place in the beginning for USE=3Dbzip2 is ano=
ther=20
question.)
###
The procedure (all paths relative to profiles):=20
1) create directory eapi-5-files, with eapi (containing 5), skeletons for=20
package.stable.mask etc and a readme
2) copy releases/10.0 to releases/13.0, in releases/13.0:
* increase required portage version
* additionally inherit ../../eapi-5-files
* other changes as per question above?
3) for each arch in default/linux,=20
* announce on arch alias (to prevent overlapping commits)
* copy default/linux/${arch}/10.0 to default/linux/${arch}/13.0 and=20
* change inheritance in the new copy to inherit ../../../../releases/13.0=20
instead of ../../../../releases/10.0
* announce on arch alias (so future changes go into 13.0 tree)
[This describes the simple case. I realize that there are differences in th=
e=20
directory structure, e.g. powerpc/ppc64/10.0, which is why this step needs=
=20
extra care.]
4) edit profiles.desc and copy all "10.0 lines" to "13.0 lines", with an=20
initial setting "dev" (if dev or stable before) or "exp" (if exp before)
This makes repoman check against the new profiles when using developer=20
profiles.
5) announce the state on the dev list, urging devs to update their symlink=
=20
manually and !test!
6) wait one / two weeks
7) in profiles.desc, mark all 13.0 profiles stable that were stable in 10.0=
,=20
and remove the lines for the 10.0 profiles. This makes eselect profile now=
=20
only offer the new ones, and repoman test by default against 13.0 profiles.
8) mark all 10.0 profiles as deprecated by creating a "deprecated" file=20
(containing the replacement suggestion) in the directory. This makes portag=
e=20
warn users to upgrade (suggesting a new profile for them), and repoman igno=
re=20
the 10.0 profiles.
9) long waiting time as decided by Council
###
Everything that does NOT use/inherit 10.0 will remain unaffected, and whoev=
er=20
responsible may have to take care of that some time before (in step 10) the=
=20
main profile directory becomes EAPI=3D5. This means e.g. hardened, ulibc, p=
refix=20
or bsd.
Cheers,=20
