In Portage tree we have "0" (default) and "1".

"0", "1" and any further official EAPI are defined in PMS. There's a svn repository at http://svn.repogirl.net/pms > How can we produce a new EAPI? I can't tell you the exact process, but look at EAPI bug trackers or search for bugs assigned to pms-bugs@gentoo.org. Also, search in @-dev's archive. > > IMO, we can not have more than two EAPI's simultaneously. > The only situation in which we can have two EAPI is in the transition period > of those two EAPI's. And we should set a time constraint on the transition. > Quite the opposite. EAPI's are designed to live happily together in the same repository. A current example: most (or lots...) ebuilds in the tree don't need EAPI="1" and it's pointless to migrate all of them. We can switch EAPI on an as needed basis. > Other than that we can only have one working EAPI which all package managers > conforms to. Read above, and other discussions. That's also pointless because we don't need to force all third party overlays to upgrade EAPI everytime we have a new one... -- Santiago M.
